Motorcycle Live 2024: CCM Project X 4K

[@IanSixbikes-by6ei]

Great to see you covering the CCM stand, for some reason there was very little mention or coverage of CCM's Project X online so pleased to see you doing a special feature on the bike, it look fantastic and if the price isn't to "salty" then it will more than likely prove to be CCM's top seller.

I think it'll be around £14k.... so competitive vs a 'big adventure bike' (some of them at least) but a long way from the new Chinese offerings. I hope it does well, though I suppose I'd always worry that I'd break something expensive and hard to replace if I dropped it on a trail...

great looking bikes!

[@PeakMotorcycles]

They are. Simple, but beautifully made, and not silly prices. They aren't cheap of course, but whenever I take mine out for a ride people ask me about it.

[@MattTofield]

Any idea if it will be a light bike?

[@PeakMotorcycles]

I'm certain it will. The standard Spitfire Cafe Racer is 145Kg dry, the Bobber is 135kg dry.... I expect this will be a little more with the bodywork and the larger fuel tank, but perhaps lighter wheels to offset that a little. I'd still expect it to be under 160kg wet, and with the stage 1 ECU it should push out 70hp (Mine does!) which is T7 sort of power but for 20-25% less weight. I guess we'll find out late spring next year.

@@PeakMotorcycles sounds promising, thanks for the reply and another very informative video.

The unnamed bike looks good, could be called the wolf or coyote??

[@PeakMotorcycles]

It'll be great to see the final version with the tank and paint job. I can't wait.

project x is a 100% FUGLY bike - they should have remade the gp450 . Their other bikes are drop dead gorgeous.... Not sure how set on the X design they are, i hope they change its mid riff/tank area

[@PeakMotorcycles]

The problem with the GP450 is that the engines are no longer available. Developing a new frame to fit the 600 from the Spitfires (an older unit itself...) doesn't really make sense. If anything, a new frame that uses a CCM take on the Zongsheng 450 single or even the CFMoto 450MT Twin might be a better future choice, but new frames and engine tech is a big undertaking. CCM are a small volume builder who will work with what they have. I'm sure that in the final colours and spec it will look special. We shall see.
