Ccm Gone Tits Up.

Shame for all the people who will now loose their jobs. Never been a fan of anything that they made, way over priced and for me just pig ugly.

Definitely a niche market but just a bit too niche at the prices they were asking IMO.

 

Not a fan either. But sad news indeed.

 

I liked the bikes and test rode the range but with just the one engine they were a bit limited.
The GP450 was an interesting concept and funnily enough, I was looking at a 300 mile old 17 plate today. Glued alloy frame seems a bit bizarre but it looked the part.I first sat on one at the NEC soon after it's launch, so it's a shame it was dropped rather than developed further as the adventure market is a very prospering section currently.

The Spitfires at one point were appreciating and were selling for more than the initial pricing but unfortunately the cost rose to probably unacceptable and unsustainable levels.

 

Wow, I thought this was another Babes on Bikes post when I saw the title. Disappointed.

 

Never liked em, now the old CCMs with a BSA 500 engine, that's different.

 

I liked them, but as others have already mentioned way too pricey.
