Overview

### Introducing the 2013 CCM SR40: A Classic with a Contemporary Twist The 2013 CCM SR40 is a remarkable fusion of classic motorcycle aesthetics and modern performance, carving a niche for itself in the classic motorcycle category. Hailing from the revered British manufacturer, Clews Competition Motorcycles (CCM), the SR40 not only pays homage to the rich legacy of motorcycle craftsmanship but also embodies the spirit of adventure. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or a newcomer looking for your first bike, the SR40 presents an enticing blend of style and functionality, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate the timeless character of classic motorcycles. ### Engine Performance and Riding Characteristics At the heart of the SR40 lies a robust single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 398 cc, generating an impressive 42 horsepower (30.7 kW). This power is harnessed through a responsive carburettor system, specifically the Keihin FCR39, which ensures smooth throttle response and optimal performance across various riding conditions. The liquid cooling system maintains efficient engine temperatures, allowing riders to push boundaries without worry. With a power-to-weight ratio of approximately 0.339 HP/kg, the SR40 offers a lively and exhilarating ride, characterized by nimble handling and agility. The tubular steel frame and Paioli conventional front suspension, paired with Hagon twin shocks at the rear, provide a balanced ride, making the SR40 equally adept at cruising city streets or tackling twisty backroads. ### Key Features and Technology The 2013 CCM SR40 is not just about performance; it comes loaded with features designed to enhance the riding experience. The electric starter ensures you can hit the road with ease, while the bike's sleek silver and yellow color options give it a distinctive look that turns heads. With a seat height of 930 mm (36.6 inches), the SR40 is comfortably accessible for most riders, allowing for confident footing at stops. The braking system features single discs, with a diameter of 280 mm (11.0 inches) in the front and 260 mm (10.2 inches) in the rear, providing reliable stopping power. With a fuel capacity of 12 liters (3.17 gallons), the SR40 is ready for longer rides, making it a practical choice for weekend getaways. ###
