Not to my taste, but for the minimalist none touring types ......

Wow! Very bold styling for a 'production' motorcycle  ;)

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.
