CCM Spitfire

CCM say the Spitfire is the cumulative work of a small group of mechanics and designers who have been working away behind the scenes and developing their ideas in their spare time. Like the original Lockheed Martin Skunkworks, CCM say the Skunkwerx team was able to build a dream bike without the hassle and constraints of budgets and bureaucracy.

The Spitfire has an all new 600cc single, which puts out 55bhp and 58nm of torque. Looking at the data, the engine appears to be the same one fitted to the SWM RS650R, itself an unused model from when BMW owned Husqvarna. Keeping a lid on the speed are Brembo calipers front and rear, while the 19” wheels and tyres solidify the flat track look.

The most visually arresting part of the bike is the frame, which has been constructed from T45 steel – the same steel used to build the fuselages of the Supermarine Spitfire fighter plane. To produce the complex shapes of the trellis frame, CCM employed the skills of veteran welder Ted Unwin, who was one of the original members of Alan Clews’ Clew Competition Machines in the early 1970s. Despite all this fancy trellis work, the claimed weight is only 121kg dry.
