CCM have expanded their newly created Spitfire model
line to include a new Café Racer variant. The Café Racer shares the same engine
and chassis as the original Spitfire but it has clip-on handlebars, racer
rearsets, low slung exhausts, a stubby rear mudguard and a longer seat with
cowl.
The centre piece of the Spitfire range is a 600 cc single cylinder engine
that generates 55 bhp and 43 lb-ft of torque. Even with a handmade steel frame,
the Café Racer has a claimed dry weight of just 125 kg, which means it should
have a grin inducing ride.
The Spitfire range has been hugely successful for
the Bolton-based manufacturers with the first model selling out the 100 bike
production run in a matter of weeks. Like the Scrambler, 250 Café Racers will
be made available for sale with production scheduled for later this year.
The
Café Racer is on sale now for £ 9,247 and if you want to see it in the flesh,
CCM are taking the Spitfire range up the hill at the Goodwood Festival of
Speed.
