CCM is back in the hands of the Clews family and producing some pretty cool-looking motorcycles. The 450 Adventure features the BMW 450 motor that was developed for the short-lived G450X. It’s been updated and placed in a chassis that no longer uses the combined countershaft/swingarm pivot. There has been an attempt at U.S. homologation, but it’s still a few years away.
