Looks sweet.But pricey.:smilies0349:

When should this bike come out?

7995 is it

i got a little sweetener for ordering early .some extra bits hanguards ..bashplate dunlop 606 tyres and a a couple of hundred quid less as they werre debating a 7795 tag so i got it for that which is still a fair chunk i know . but compare it with a 690 at 7300 ..to get the same spec would be near 10000 by the time youve been shopping at rally raid

im ok with the price as long as it is as good as it seems

theres a lot of stuff on there that would cost a arm and a leg to put on a standard bike ..billet yolks and w/power forks would be over 2000 quid on the tenere or any other bike for that matter .. as a for instance ..

then talon pegs and exel rims braided lines ..billet hubs ...you can see how it would mount up in a project bike .and thatt assumes you have some know how
.and it would still be very heavy after all thats done

i guess the deal is it pretty easy to add weight to a bike but its bloody hard to loose it ..thats one of its biggest appeals for me
its the lightness off road that made me want it ..dont get me wrong the klr and tenere do really well given there size they are great bikes for rough tracks marroco and sutch ......its also the best looking adv bike bar none ..i think the tenere and the bmw dakar are the best adv bikes out there

.its just that extra off road ability that made me go that way it would be easy to buyanother pogo but who wants to ride a drz for 700 miles ??
i think it will fill a gap ..tenere for longer trips ccm for dirty weekends ..it souds eccsesive but the two together are probably worth 3500 ess than a fully loaded gs adv ??..i dont drive a car so why not ? he he
worse comes to worse and its a lemon ...ill just have to take the two or three grand grand hit... and move on ..somhow i dont think so ...i guess ill find out soon

i am prone to taking the tenere in some stupid places and just need somthing lighter to help me out

Did you get the new ccm ? Whats your thoughts

Had a chance to ride one today! Some road riding and about 50 miles of trails around the Brecks/Thetford forest in Norfolk.

Norfolk County Council in their wisdom have put unrestricted speed limit signs up at the start of each trail!

Must say the GP450 is considerably more manageable than the Tenere in the dirt. Felt very similar on the road and you really don't notice the difference in power, which is I guess, in part down to the weight differential.

There would be one minor ergonomic issue I would have to rectify if I ever bought one and that's the seat not being high enough (or rather the seat to peg distance) which left my legs a bit cramped, this may cause problems on a long ride if you're anything other than a midget? The bar height is spot on though, and works really well standing.

Overall though, I really liked it - a lot. :thumbsup:

its strating to get a good press im glad ou liked it

as you can tell im still waiting im being lent one for a lakes weekend next week

im hoping march delivery ....you should be so dam tall :icon_albino:

nice one

new ccm on its way
 

It rightly should be getting a good press. I think it could very well prove to be the definitive adventure bike - pending proof of long term reliability that is, but that's what early adopters like you are for! ;)


Not tall (if you remember), similar height to you - I just have disproportionally long legs compared to my body! ;)

im not sure yet ive got the bike with the high seat i may just raise the bars inch or cowhorn the bars

im still waiting but there lending me one for the gategarth trail weekend next week

final spec looks like this .....:sunny:

it would have been handy last week ......:icon_redface: poor old wilderbeast was out of its remit

ill keep you posted

The tall seat option would be a must. I guess the press bikes are fitted with the low seat to make it seem less intimidating?

I see that final spec bike has T63s fitted, which we were lucky to have fitted on the one we had out. Not the best in the dirt, but a damn sight better than the Dunlop Trailmax that a lot of the pre-release and press bikes were fitted with.

Here's another couple of (not great) pics of the CCM in Thetford Forest.

had it for three days and 400 miles recently ...we did some pretty tough trais over two days ...the bike performed really well ...its fine in the low 70s on the motorway ....
pinpoint accurate in the twisties ...and the suspension is just outsatanding on the rough stuff ..... really impressed
i wish they would hurry up with it
