You sum it up so well. I am a sports bike rider. I love my Spit more than my Ninja. They ride better than they look. 145kg is the key to the magic. Im a Colchester based Spit and whenever I park up people talk. 7k miles of happiness so far. Thank you for your great content.

I completely understand your appreciation of the single cylinder 'Blip' acceleration, Torque at your finger tips & the combining Sound of Engine & Exhaust note. I'd be intrigued of your experience of riding an old British Single Cylinder machine. Perhaps a BSA B44. ? I think you might enjoy. Thanks for this review. : )
@Apollo9498 ай бұрын
Well, Tomboy, This was another great review from you and I love how you break it down into different categories such as brakes, suspension and comfort etc. It looks like a great bike and I love the sound of the single cylinder engine. In fact there's no better sound for a motorcycle in my opinion also the scream of a high powered multi cylinder Japanese four of a thoroughbred Italian is music to my ears. I am not keen on the suicide stand on the CCM, though, because the slightest nudge will see the stand flip up and the bike go crashing to the ground and that would be heartbreaking. I also thought the front brake reservoir looked a bit precarious and seemed to be vibrating quite a lot so would prefer something more sturdy but if I didn't have the Himalayan I would certainly put the CCM on my wish list.

Hi Deimante, i am afraid you have to edit the torque figure!
