How is it not bonded? Am I missing a piece of literature that contradicts the Bond-Lite video on the front page of CCM's website? Also, you can't criticize CCM for not coming on here to answer your sulky 'nay-sayer' questions and then blame them for quotes other people have posted in a forum about t...

Ralph - I fail to see where CCM tout it as the 'best ever Adventure bike' - they do say its light, has good range and good components - which it does. I have ridden the bike (and many many others including XTZ and I used to own an XT600E) and this is a good bike. I will happily state its better than...

So Ralph - you big problem is just that you can't afford it? That its components are too good? I for one appreciate a manufacturer that isn't dealing out the cheapest crap it can to rake in the highest possible margin. I have got to the point in life when I realise that cheap shit is just that, chea...

You know what annoys me? You bond, in the way you imply and infer comments like they are facts. A 'so called bonded frame' is actually a bonded frame, simple as that. CCM have been using the technology for years yet you implication is that its bullsh!t. Please show me a production bike that has 'in-...

Wow, so the bike's not for you? Great, see ya then (and take bond with you please). Seriously, other than a sliver of epeen, what was the benefit of you posting that? BTW - if 95% of your RTW route is all road why buy a XT or a TR? Get yourself a Goldwing or HD and relax. But hey, thanks for telling...

I was really surprised at the inclusion of that Honda in the test and thought they would've been better testing against the 2014 KTM 690 Enduro; which is certainly in the price range of the CCM and would've shown the CCM as the middle ground between road-focused and off-road focused bikes. I really ...

Isn't it also used by Kymco in one of their quads?

VS the number of times ill-informed internet trolls get it wrong? No, never.

I don't see how it's misleading? Kymco made a high-stressed race engine for BMW and now they are making a low tuned engine for CCM. Your whole assumption is based purely on the idea that, once you have made an engine there is only one possible way to run that engine. Please don't take offence but I ...

No (its not a G450X race bike)
