    Aston Martin have brought out a limited edition bike, only £25000 to buy!

    Not sure I'm gone on the styling though

    I call shenanigans. Any other bike I've ever seen has the disc rotors on the LHS on both wheels.

    It looks like a photoshopped Beru factor001 or else Aston Martin have gone into some kind of sponsorship with them.

    Car Company + Bike Design = Crap.

    I would go to great length not to own one of these.

    Technically, I think Peugeot is a bike manufacturer that somehow ended up making cars. So they're ok by me.

    Seems they're a coffe grinder company that ended up making bikes then cars. Many would hold that to be a consistently downward trajectory.

    Didn't Aston Martin have to produce a rebadged/re-nosed Smart Car to comply with some kind of European emissions thing? Something like your whole range of cars has to balance their emissions, so if you have a gas guzzling, black smoke belching, super-monster car at the top of your range, you need a gentle, motorflower, rainbow burping, type car at the other end to balance it out. Think they were giving them away with their newest car.

    Maybe the wee city car thing wasn't 'green' enough to balance their new motor and they had to branch out into something kinder to the forest pixies, reindeer, cockroaches, and whatnot. Hence, this bike.

    Slightly less exotic but you can buy a BMW M Carbon bike to match your Beemer if that floats your boat. There was one in the window of Frank Keane's on the Blackrock bypass in Dublin recently.
