Am I right in thinking they are Yamaha engines now ?

Thought it was 55bhp, 600cc single-cylinder BMW-designed Husqvarna motor

The engines were never the issue, they were Suzuki.

The sub frame on the 640 SM was known to have corrosion issues and the electrics were “interesting”

I don’t know much about the new models but they look like style over substance.

I liked the rawness of my 640 once you’ve sorted the electrics all is good
These new models seem to just follow a fad fashion and are over priced.

My bike just didn’t like Thetford

CCM make beautiful machines, the finish and detail are superb. Never owned or ridden one but just love their designs.

Just my opinion, stupidly overpriced.

Whatever takes your fancy. No pockets in a shroud.
This is my hubby’s latest purchase, he sold the monster to make space in the garage.

They’ve been producing from around 2018 and are good enough to keep a British Company employing British people in business through what has been a very turbulent period.

Just my opinion, stupidly overpriced.

Clearly not, enough people are buying them. You could make your accusation at many biking brands, for example, Ducati, Norton, Langen, etc. but it doesn’t mean that the product isn’t in demand (and worth the, often high, price being asked).

You think they would have finished painting the wheels before he took it another trip back

Very nice bike

Agreed, strange really. Not sure I am keen on that bit of the design

 

[daveclare]

That is a nice looking British bike. It could be said that every bike is overpriced for what they are.

You’re right, I bought this in March. Two reasons, spend some money and keep the miles down on my limited edition RR.
