According to reports, Brough Superior has begun deliveries of the unique AMB 001 motorcycle.
First revealed at the EICMA show in Milan back in November 2019, many – including esteemed publications – suggest that it is too beautiful and radical to make it to the production stage.
Lo and behold, the AMB 001 will now meet its first owner after two long years.
Born from the extraordinary collaboration between Brough Superior and British carmaker Aston Martin, the global pandemic has even allowed the two firms to send the AMB 001 for all-important on-track testing.
Considering the AMB 001 is not street-legal, sending it out on the track is probably the best way forward for the limited-run motorcycle.
The best part about the AMB 001 is its turbocharged V-twin engine that produces 180hp, which is more than enough to blow off several notable sports bikes on track days. Although, you wouldn’t want to risk a bike this rare and this expensive in any regular track sessions.
Despite being limited to just 100 units worldwide, reports suggest that the AMB 001 is still available for order at GBP100,000 (RM558k) at Brough’sBrough’s official website.
Yamaha has revealed a Cybertronian-ish looking Yamaha MT-09 dubbed the Cyber Rally at the Osaka Motorcycle Show.
This is not the first time the MT-09 gets a unique treatment as Yamaha revealed a special version called the Street Rally back in 2014.
Born from Yamaha’s Y’S Gear aftermarket parts, the Cyber Rally is a continuation of the short-lived Street Rally but with a reworked styling that fits the current generation of MT-09.
Like the Street Rally, the Cyber Rally also gets a clear plastic headlight cowl that completely surrounds the front headlamp and is tall enough to provide protection to the 3.5-inch TFT screen.
The most standout feature on the Cyber Rally is the winglet-like handguards which was the star attraction on the previous Street Rally.
However, while the sharply designed handguards on the Street Rally features clear plastic, the component fitted on the Cyber Rally looks like carbon fibre.
Other key highlights include redesigned radiator covers with added gills, which nicely changes the side profile.
Meanwhile, another noticeable change is the use of aftermarket Akrapovic exhaust.
Regardless, it’s hard to tell whether the Cyber Rally is linked to Yamaha directly, considering it is not an official reveal from the Japanese giant.
Nonetheless, it’s important to note that the MT-09 Cyber Rally looks beastly with the addition of Yamaha’s Y’S Gear.
