Talking Ccm Sr40

Hi,

I spotted the retro-styled SR40 machine on the CCM website: http://www.ccm-motorcycles.net/news.htm

Potentially a decent overland bike? Relatively simple design, what looks to be quality cycle parts and a Suzuki single motor. Learned opinions please.

Cheers.

retro

looks like an XT with modern engine, brakes and light.

I would just get a late (vintage 87 or 88) XT 500 and put a XT 350 fork in. Probably lots cheaper.

...or forget about the looks and get a brand new KLR or DR?
