Yeah, you either love em or hate em. Seems to depend on whether you got a Monday morning one or a Friday afternoon one. I guess I've just been lucky with mine.
Engine vibration is just about the same as the XR600 Honda I had before the CCM. but what did crack an exhaust mount on mine was wheel balance. The rim locks put each wheel 110gm out of balance - a huge amount. Because the wheels are different sizes they rotate, and vibrate, at different speeds and the vibration goes in and out of phase over a 3-4 second period at around 60mph. At its worst this would make your teeth chatter and give you double vision. Balancing the wheels cured all of this and I've not had any problems since.
It's certainly not a "turn key" bike. Think of it as a two wheel series 3 Land Rover and you won't go far wrong.
