It looks brilliant!

Would be a blast to take to Morroco.....but the trip through Spain to get there? Whats the advantage over an XTZ 660 Ténéré for example ?

I’m sold!!

It's nice to see world-class products made in our home town of Bolton, Lancashire, UK!

Richard Harfield designed you mean at most the frame and shape of the plastics, cause the rest of the design .... and assembled you mean bolt on some big parts already assembled in italy (forks), china (engine, fairing, fuel tank, fuel pump, seat, airbox, instrument cluster, radiator etc), germany (injector, gearbox, ecu) etc ....... so, even by your definition ...... I would love you to truly make a spitfire and blast the sht out of the fat overpriced messerschmitts not bolt them in UK and put on a false flag. but i'm a nobody so i dont count ....... kzread.info/dash/bejne/YqKbp7aRqKyboMo.html :)))

I like this! Would make a good do it all, everyday bike :)

Good looking bike! I would buy one :) Love the adventure style bikes, especially when they look like something from the dakar!

One main thing that CCM took also very seriously is the low seat option of a 31inch height! they do care about short riders! were Japanese manufacturers doesn't seem to think of. i would buy , but dam it there's no CCM Dealer here!

over fifty horsepower with a single passenger and light weight, plus great suspension. Sounds like a winner to me.

40 horsepower actually ... i wouldnt detune it ... the G450X hat terrible service intervalls with the beefed up engine.

how is it coming along?

A bike before it's time. Would fit right in amongst the likes himalyans and tenere 700s

Indeed. And that’s partially why it didn’t work out for them. But that caused CCM to go in a totally different direction and become a manufacturer of poser bikes that only pretend to be what they’re called. Example: ‘Scrambler’! Ludicrous, yet now everyone seems to be all damp panties over them!! What a shame. I’m in the process of designing a modified CCM 604 frame based lightweight adventure bike with a BMW F650GS Dakar engine that I’m converting to carburettor for simplicity. Arguably, that’s what a real adventure bike should be. Any dependence upon electronics that can go wrong at any time (such as EFI and suspension setups), but can never be fixed at the roadside are a huge liability. Many prevent the bike from even being started! Pointless so-called ‘climate’ legislation has killed bikes as they should be. No new bikes today are worth buying because they have early obsolescence built in. Ride safe.

Well, it certainly looks pretty awesome. I wish KTM had stuck with the Dakar style on their new adventure bike.

makes a good impressionn

Winner!!

cool bike

A German engine made by a Taiwanese company in an English frame, wow, thats a lot of intermingling ;)

Nice catch! 450 is enough for 80% of the Adventure Rides

MCN's production is so poor when you compare their videos with US and Australian magazines. They really need to sort out their microphones. Nice bike though. I heard orders will shipped in March 2014.

I think i'd rather have a ktm 640 adv. Though the quick adjust rear shock looks nice, specially if you're carrying luggage.

the value added by the depth of your thought sir is not even a shadow of a fart if i may say so ...

Looks perfect, time to sell off the 800 GS and get into more serious adventures

Can you put a 710 in it like the old one???

...just to soon... Now days in this ADV crazy world it would be perfect

looks ok

Dude has done it on a honda c90, not impossible lol

Nice bike, however at Seven gran and a bit for a base model it's a bit trumpy.. That ancient Bema engine is rubbish, it would be nicer with a Rotax lump, which we all know are bomb proof. The price would have been in the stratosphere then I suppose. No need to dump my old XT 500 yet which still rumbles on...

are you in a rush to get back then? :)

good video for mcn! makes a change from neeves and childs MCN poster boys posing about and not actually telling us anything.

Ooooh sketchy cliff there at :45 seconds...... ahah we dont have those around me in cleveland

come on CCM make a 450 Moto 3 style bike

Looks like younger and thinner a 1190 to me!

6 speed?

450 will struggle on roads if you have a lot of luggage or a pillion. Although its probably still far better than the silly 1000+'s for the majority of situations.

Why are we not funding this??

£8000!!! Yea. That is bad! I do wish the well though.

Yeah, that's why BMW has them building some engines for them.

This bike could be the best compromise possible for an adventure bike, but the engine is too small and probably not so reliable for long trips. Probably a Ktm 690 Enduro with a confortable saddle and a good windshield is even the better choice...

Around the world on 40bhp.. Rather you than me..

Better to have it and not need it, than to need it n not have it... ya get me?

This is an all alloy 130kg bike for carring You and your RTW gear. Not ment to be ridden TWO up with a fat lady on the back. The 450 is more than capable on the normal roads - on longer trips one does not need more than 120-130 KM/h top speed anyhow. Sad to see though that people still expect something like that from true adventure bike. (not mammothism). The 17 litre tank could be better though.

Kymco could probably build this bike for half the money or just over half.

Ccm make race winning off road bikes, they have top quality frames, brakes , suspension and fuelling so it's going to be more expensive but also better and more reliable, if you're going round the world I know which I would prefer.

5 speed.

So you'd rather go around the world, hundreds of thousands of miles, on one of those 270kg busses that the call "adventure bikes" then? Rather you than me. Give us a call when you drop one and need an extra two peopl to help you pick it up. The reality is that serious adventure riders usually prefer smaller bikes. Yamaha WR250 is a bit of a round-the-world trip legend.

8k? too much

Yes, really. Most of the current adventure bikes are nothing more than road tourers with off road styling hues. Far more people do world scaling adventures across countries without tarmac roads, on bikes like the a dr350, than on bikes like the 260kg triumph explorer, which is wholly inappropriate for such a task. Hence why CCM opted for the 450. The GS's they used on the longway round were completely inappropriate too, as they found out when claudio bought a shitty little local russian bike.

Serious adventure riders prefer smaller bikes?.. Really?

BMW engine copy by Kymco hey... What can we discover... if we dig more... perhaps another "agreement" to use original British brands in order to implant their wonderful Xing Xong crap, at lower prices (or not) depending on the brand name.

Will I have to buy a $350 aftermarket seat to keep the bike from killing my ass???

I sat on one of these on saturday at the motorcycle show in Birmingham. The first thing I noticed was how comfy the seat was. Of all the bike I sat on this was my personal favorite. Now I just have to find 8 grand.
