Spitfire !!!!!

[spooky]

Saw my first CCM spitfire today...
It went past me twice, sounded loveley, shame they are way too expensive, looked great and sounded nice, but not as nice sound as an Enfield.

Got mine on order mr Spooky, should be getting it early November. Chopped my v7 guzzi and my ktm390 duke in for the “Foggy” limited flat tracker edition. Pretty excited about getting it I gotta say.
Cheers, Michael

Ah but Bill, I’ve still got the xbr650 tracker on the bench AND the cb250rs/xbr500 engined hillclimber project “under” the bench still to build/finish. I’d just got to stage where I wasn’t going in the garage and wanting to swing a leg over the guzzi. Just didn’t gel with it at all and the ktm390 was just a tad under powered for me so I thought, sod it im not getting any younger. I’m going to get something that when I open the garage door the bike screams at me “come on let’s go for a ride” and the ccm flat tracker certainly fits that bill, plus it’s a bit different, don’t see many flying around. (See what I did there 😁) .. Mr Spooky, they use the husqvarna engine. Cheers, Michael

Is the husky motor of Shinray origin then ?

[Moto63]

Not to sure to be honest, I know husqvarna are now owned by ktm but beyond that I don’t know. Wouldn’t surprise me if it (the engine) was built over in China. What isn’t nowadays 😡

Lovely bike at an equally attractive price!

Good luck with the CCM Michael. Given your reaction to your recent bikes, I think you've got this one spot on. 👌😎

Good luck with the CCM Michael. The RS special looks very nice but for me would need a more powerful engine with that suspension set up which I'm sure could easily handle it.

Yes I thought exactly the same thing Martin, still a nice looking bike mind. I’ll keep you posted with the spitfire 🤞cheers, Michael

Good luck with the Spitfire Michael. Henry Cole rode one on one of his Great Motorcycle Rides IIRC, and really liked it.

Well that's enough to put me off!

But I don't suppose I'm part of the target market anyway.

So much, he bought one. Here's a link to his Spitfire being ridden and reviewed by a prominent YouTube motovlogger;

Still trying to figure out where the luggage and wife go.  Maybe for some thats the attraction.  Nicely styled but fairly impractical - bit of a Cafe Racer perhaps and none the worse for that.
