Far cheaper to get the KTM 690 Oryx. 148 kg bike. 66 bhp. 27 litre tank. Cheaper same weight more power longer range.

I thought the same: £8k for a dirtbike! :confused1: What's wrong with a good used DRZ400s for about £2500? The DRZ has proven reliability and available bling (new and used). CCM has the reputation of building poor bikes (how often have they gone bust?) and the 450 bmw engine they're using failed as a race engine with David Knight. Prior and since his BMW interlude he has won everything on KTM (and privately with Kawasaki).
CCM probably got the engines cheap, as a job lot, when the BMW G450 was discontinued.
My mate thought it was shocking when he tested one earlier this year. I'll give it a test ride at HU Donington next week. Even if I thought it was good, I wouldn't pay such a huge amount of money for it.
