A new feature documentary about James Bond creator Ian Fleming will receive its premiere at GoldenEye, Fleming’s former home in Oracabessa, Jamaica, in November 2026.

Aston Martin and Brough Superior have spent years building track-only superbikes. The new AMB 002 Roadster is their first street-legal model. Its titanium frame is milled from a single solid billet and weighs just 11 pounds, while a double-wishbone Fior fork replaces conventional telescopic forks for more stable braking and handling. The 1083cc V-twin produces 130 hp and 81 lb-ft of torque and is built in-house at Brough Superior in Toulouse, France.

Production is limited to just 300 bikes. Should one be reserved for Bond?

The winner of the 98th contest is Jay Hale - congratulations on the prize, a Limited Edition ‘Live and Let Die’ art print by Michael Gillette!

The prints are available from Michael Gillette for $175.

Stay tuned for the next contest - and note that we’re almost at the 100th giveaway!

Theo James could have been a good choice for Bond, but he has stated that he is not interested in the job, unfortunately.
