As yet unnamed, CCM have taken the covers off their latest uber-cool motorcycle today at Motorcycle Live in Birmingham. It’s a 600cc retro adventure machine with the working title ‘Project X’.
CCM’s last adventure bike was the exceptionally light and nimble GP450, but production ended in 2017 as the ex-BMW engine that they were using could no longer meet emission regulations.
‘Project X’ rediscovers the trail and dirt-focussed past that CCM was founded on, and does so in some style, with styling cues harking back to the early days of Paris-Dakar bikes in the 80s.
18″ and 21″ wheels on lightweight robust hubs hang off long travel suspension, while the seat is gel-filled, the tall gearing offers low-rev cruising and the tank is reputedly long range, so it certainly ticks loads of overlanding boxes. We can’t wait to try it!
Pre-orders are being accepted during Motorcycle Live at the NEC with delivery expected in the summer of 2025. We will of course be trying to get some to The Overland Event at the end of August 2025 for test rides.
