Not to my taste, but for the minimalist none touring types ......
-
Wow! Very bold styling for a 'production' motorcycle ;)
-
Love it, want one🤘......thanks for the link Richard
-
Not for me but well done CCM for trying something new.

Not quite to my taste but certainly different!

Its more original than most. Not for me, but I get the idea.
The name is a very silly thing to do. An R J Mitchell level of design it is not. Nor does it conjur up any feeling of history. It may well rust like a 1970's sports car.

A bit like the fairly nondescript Shepherd Name beer of the same name, I suspect an attempt to appeal to a particular audience. Bold though.
-
The name spitfire will most likely mean diddly squat to 99% of the audience it's aimed at....personally I like it. I'd av it parked in my grage, I'm pretty sure it'd bring a smile to my face every time I opened the grage door. 🙂🙂

Moto Guzzi have the Flying Fortress.
Suzuki have the Hayabusa.
Zero did it by accident.
BMW Stuka anyone?

No way that is a production model - missing lots of bits that would be required to get through type approval.
-
Like the way it can balance with no side or main stand!
-
The tyres are bald too if we are getting into details!

I think I like it .... not sure why, I'm a cafe' fan, and it doesn't really make the grade in that genre, not a flat tracker either, so , yes, I'd have to say well done CCM for summat different, ... and I'd certainly have one if it turned up in my Christmas stocking :-)
-
The tyres ain't bald!!......I've just blown up💥 (not literally) the photo and there's definitely tread on those tyres.......sorry Andy. Granted there doesn't appear to be a stand of any kind but hey, one kud always just casually lean it against a wall like ya did with ya push bike when we were kids🚲. I wouldn't let such a minor detail stop me owning and having a total hoot on one :D
Cheers, Michael

I like the styling but still think that is a photoshop art project creation rather than a real bike.
-
So you don't want a spin on mine when I buy one, Steve ;)
-
Or mine??🍾🍾🤘🤘😁😁😁
-
Well it's a real bike alright, 8 mucho grando. Sold quite a few apparently this weekend down at the London bike show, if you go on "rocket garage" site there's a few photos of the real thing....I'd av one but I've just ordered my new ktm390, nice little thing to get me back in the saddle...

Looks miles better in a proper photo rather than the Photoshop job. Impressive.
