About CCM GP450 2014
Introducing the 2014 CCM GP450, a remarkable contender in the supermoto category that embodies the spirit of fun, versatility, and performance. Born from the legacy of Clews Competition Motorcycles, this bike takes the essence of off-road ruggedness and combines it with street-savvy agility, making it a perfect companion for thrill-seekers and urban adventurers alike. With its striking design available in a palette of White, Black, and Red, the GP450 is not just a motorcycle; it's a statement on two wheels, poised to carve through city streets or tackle winding trails with equal finesse.
At the heart of the GP450 lies a powerful 449.5cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 40.23 HP at 7000 RPM. This engine is engineered to deliver a spirited performance, with a robust torque of 42.80 Nm peaking at 6500 RPM, ensuring that every twist of the throttle translates into exhilarating acceleration. The bike's top speed of 145 km/h (90.1 mph) reveals its sporty nature, while its efficient fuel consumption of 4.50 liters per 100 km keeps it economical for everyday use. The sophisticated fuel injection system paired with electronic ignition ensures a smooth power delivery, making the GP450 a joy to ride whether you’re navigating urban traffic or hitting the open road.
The GP450’s chassis and suspension are designed to enhance both comfort and control. With a lightweight 6082 T6 forged aluminum frame, the bike weighs in at a mere 130 kg (286.6 pounds), allowing for nimble handling and easy maneuverability. The front suspension features 47mm upside-down forks with adjustable damping, providing 245mm of travel to absorb bumps and imperfections in the road. At the rear, the cast aluminum swingarm complements the overall setup, with adjustable preload and an impressive 250mm of travel. Coupled with powerful braking systems—320mm front and 240mm rear discs—this motorcycle offers the responsiveness and stopping power necessary for spirited rides.
Pros:
- Lightweight and Agile: The low weight and well-balanced frame make the GP450 incredibly nimble, perfect for both city commuting and twisty backroads.
- Powerful Engine Performance: With a robust single-cylinder engine that delivers strong torque and horsepower, riders can enjoy thrilling acceleration and top speeds.
- Versatile Suspension Setup: The adjustable suspension allows for customization based on riding conditions, providing comfort and control across varied terrains.
Cons:
- Limited Seat Height Adjustment: While the seat height is reasonable for many, it may not accommodate all riders comfortably, particularly those with shorter inseams.
- Fuel Capacity: With a fuel tank capacity of 17 liters, longer rides may require more frequent stops for refueling compared to bikes with larger tanks.
- Single-Cylinder Vibration: Some riders may find the single-cylinder engine produces more vibration at higher RPMs compared to multi-cylinder bikes, which can affect comfort on longer journeys.
The 2014 CCM GP450 stands out as a spirited and stylish machine that caters to both the practicalities of daily riding and the excitement of spirited jaunts. It’s a motorcycle that captures the essence of adventure, making it a must-try for enthusiasts looking for a blend of performance and playfulness.
