After half a century, it's over: British motorcycle brand CCM Motorcycles has filed for insolvency. The Bolton-based company, which was founded in 1971 by motocross rider and engineer Alan Clews under the name Clews Competition Machines, was known for its lightweight, hand-built motorcycles with an unmistakable character. Despite a loyal fan base and a long list of individual models, the traditional brand was no longer able to survive economically.
CCM (Clews Competition Machines) celebrates its 50th anniversary with a special Heritage model limited to 71 units.
Based on the Spitfire, British motorcycle manufacturer CCM is building the Maverick, a version that is also capable of off-road use.
CCM is a motorcycle manufacturer from Bolton in England, which many probably do not have so on the screen. Nevertheless, it is a traditional company that celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2021.
Already Lara Croft rode on a CCM in the movie Tomb Raider 2001, now Scarlett Johansson will climb on the CCM Spitfire Blackout as Black Widow. However, stuntrider Sarah Lezito will partly do the stunts on the motorcycle.
The British motorcycle manufacturer CCM presented the Spitfire Six at last year's "Motorcycle Live" exhibition. The strictly limited and handmade motorcycle now goes into production.
