CCM - they made crap bikes. They couldn't sell them. They went out of business.

It's a mini adventure.

CCM started in the 60's or 70's I think making motocross bikes with reworked BSA engines. Somewhere along the way they either became or bought Armstrong Competition Motorcycles, producing amongst others the fantastic MT500 for the British army. Because poofy soldiers (Abel

) couldn't start the big nasty bikes the army started using the girly MT350. It was an MT500 with electric start and disc brakes made by Hardly Ableto who had bought the licence from Armstrong. CCM continued using derivatives of the armstrongs Rotax four stroke engine up until recently when they started using suzuki lumps.

One's a poorly made hybrid lump failure and the other is a finely honed competition machine.

How can you mention them both in the same post?

It's like comparing the history of Ferrari and Marcos.
