    What a lovely motorcycle. A big single that sounds fantastic. Makes me wish I lived in England because I’d be beating down the factory doors. Lucky you ! Be safe and keep us up to date on this beauty. Thanks for sharing.

    Love Marmite, but this CCM is really quite amazing. What a gorgeous steed.

      Yes, they really do seem to divide opinion but glad you like it, I certainly do.
      Will be posting another video out and about on it over this weekend.
      Cheers.

    Looks to be a quality bit of kit with good attention to detail, I'm not a bobber fan myself, but the world would be a very boring place if we all liked the same stuff. Enjoy!

      Yep, certainly well made and well thought out. Agree wholeheartedly, diversity is what makes the world interesting.

    A super ride on your new bike, she looks mean and sounds very potent. i have a Triumph bobber 1200 and i must say they both look very good.Ok the Triumph bobber has 250kg but i´m a 120kg man and i need something between my legs😀😀.I wish you luck with your baby and many wonderful miles.Thank you for the ride.🍀🍀🍀

      As I said in the video, I really like the Triumph bobber but just too heavy for me

    Nice bike, but unfortunatly not (yet?) available over here in Switzerland. Pity, I might of have considered one. Just as I once did with the Triumph Bopper, but a Bopper is a lot of money to lash out for a big and heavy 2nd bike that will only be used for short local rambles (coz of the lack of packing space for luggage etc.) Wonder if you've accustomed to lthe oss of Dave in ya garage yet!?
    I was chuffed with the history lesson at the beginning, but thinking about it, history is always a part of your episodes. Thanks, ride safe and have fun. Steve.

      Thanks for the comments Steve, glad you like it.
      Unfortunately, due to the low volume production, they don't meet the standards for emissions etc required for general sale accross Europe.
      Dave was a brilliant bike and is missed but Al, the CCM, is compensating well.
      Dave will be back in the garage later in the year as I'm rebuilding him back to military spec for the new owner.
      Cheers.

    Good choice! Nice sounding, practical bike, apparently fun to ride. Being lightweight is another plus point.

    Enjoyed that very much thank you, can’t believe the weight, it’s lighter than my mt 03. If the seat height is agreeable, I may be tempted into changing. Thanks again, best wishes.

    I like this bike. 140 kg wet? Tubeless tyres? I really like the handlebars and clock. I didn't realise small manufacturers didn't have to comply with all this Euro emissions nonsense. A good reason for buying one. What's the gearbox like? The only CCM I have ridden was a service bike at Bracken's in Bermondsey, southeast London when my KTM 950 Adventure was being serviced back in the mid-'00s. It had the worst gearbox I have experienced. Truly dreadful. I'll follow your progress with the CCM with interest.
    Another excellent review. I have subscribed. Nick J

      Hi Nick, thanks for subscribing.
      I believe the 140 kilo quoted is the dry weight, but even with a full tank, it still feels like a flyweight.
      The tyres have tubes fitted.
      The gearbox is beautifully smooth, never misses a change.
      Another ride out video on the CCM coming up in the next couple of weeks.
      Cheers.

    How much do CCM charge for the 4000 miles service and how much does it cost for them to come to your house

      @old-n-Goldie  Před měsícem

      @@georgearcher5696thanks for watching. Service details and charges are all on the CCM website.
      I don't think they do home services anymore but now have a dealer network or you can take your bike to their factory.
