Overview

### Introducing the CCM RAF Benevolent Fund Spitfire In 2021, CCM Motorcycles unveiled the limited-edition RAF Benevolent Fund Spitfire, a motorcycle that merges classic aesthetics with modern engineering. Designed to commemorate the centenary of the Royal Air Force, this exquisite machine stands out not just for its striking light blue color—an homage to the legendary Spitfire K5054 prototype—but also for its dedication to craftsmanship and performance. Only 100 units of this hand-built marvel will ever hit the roads, making it a rarity that appeals to collectors and enthusiasts alike. Positioned in the classic motorcycle category, the Spitfire captures the essence of British motorcycling heritage while offering contemporary riding dynamics. ### Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics At the heart of the Spitfire lies a robust 600cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers an impressive 55 HP and 58 Nm of torque at 5,500 RPM. With a high compression ratio of 12.0:1, this powertrain promises exhilarating acceleration and a spirited ride. The liquid-cooled engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox, allowing for smooth and precise gear changes that enhance the riding experience. Riders will appreciate the Spitfire's nimble handling, aided by its lightweight frame weighing in at just 135 kg (297.6 pounds) and a power-to-weight ratio of 0.4074 HP/kg. Whether navigating through city streets or cruising along winding country roads, the Spitfire's responsive throttle and well-balanced chassis make every ride a memorable adventure. ### Key Features and Technology The Spitfire is not just about looks and power; it’s equipped with advanced features that elevate the riding experience. The frame is constructed from high-strength steel, expertly hand TIG-welded for maximum durability. Its front and rear suspension both offer 100mm of travel, ensuring a comfortable ride over varying terrains. The motorcycle is fitted with single disc brakes both front and rear, providing reliable stopping power. The adjustable telescopic fork and single shock rear suspension allow riders to customize their setup for optimum comfort. Complemented by an electric starter and an impressive fuel economy of 56 mpg, the Spitfire is as practical as it is thrilling. With a two-year warranty backing this limited edition, potential owners can ride with peace of mind. ###
