    No I haven't, but I'll take that as a warning not to, but Yes to the 2nd question in isolation of any further reasons strengthening the case for Hipocide TM
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    If CCM are going to use Spitfire parts at least they should be BSA ones in keeping with CCM's BSA roots

    Doesn't BSA mean Bloody Sore Arse?
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    That CCM MotoX bike #57 makes me feel just a bit nostalgic for my old Cheney BSA 500MX which looked very similar. Not nearly so nostalgic that I'd want to own one again though thanks.

    And because a rebuilt one goes for stupid money ..

    It was made in 1957 and yet it's done less than 1,000km's?
    That's not a motorcycle, it's a statue. A very very expensive statue.

    I could buy a BMW R Nine T for that and have 10 grand left over. If I wanted a good looking old-school bike I could spend $5K on a Honda CX500 and another couple grand on doing it up, have a super sexy bike and over $20K left over.
    Hell, I could buy this https://www.trademe.co.nz/home-livin...241045da543cc5 and save myself 24 grand (and I wouldn't need to drive all the way to Hastings to pick it up).

    A super sexy CX500? That'll be a hard sell. The last guy I saw on one of those greeted me with, "I'm too old to be cool".

    Mate. A CX500 done up in a brat/cafe racer style way is hands down, by far, no questions asked thee coolest, most sexy motorbike on this planet. Period.



    Look at it! ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you can be 40, 104 or 27 (in my case) you will look cool as fark on that thing.



    Gorgeous.



    It's a piece of art that thing. The way the engine just seemingly hangs from the frame, the shape of the gas tank and of course that unique cylinder config with it sticking out the way it does. Oooo mate..

    It's my next bike after I finish doing up my yamaha and it will be one I will absolutely not be selling ever.
