CCM Motorcycles

A Brief History of the Marque

The Clews Competition Motorcycle company was formed by former BSA works rider Alan Clews in 1971 and was still going strong several decades later. Based in Blackburn, the factory has produced a string of successful competition machines, albeit in rather small quantities (200 motorcycles in 2000). Initially powered by BSA engines, the firm used Rotax engines during the 80s and 90s when production reached a peak of 3,500 annually including the Armstrong, which was built by CCM. In the 1980s, many CCM and Armstrong models were identical. The 83 MX500 was marketed as a Can-Am in North America, and as an Armstrong in Europe.

Suzuki engines have been employed since the turn of the millenium, initially using air-cooled 644cc engines and more recently the liquid-cooled 404cc powerplant.
