I'm actually liking the look of that CCM a lot!
However, at 8 thousand - imho no point at all bying a brand new bike for the purpose of thrashing it offroad at, occasionally dropping, scratching, cracking plastics etc...
Guess it's a matter of someone being brave and just taking it out in the wild for the first time, thoroughly testing in the REAL world. (Hint - remember Colebatch and his X-challenge. How many of us even heard of that bike beforehand? I for sure didn't.)
Until that - all is only guesswork.
The idea, however, of a factory - ready, or at least very nearly ready adventure bike, is great! So far, seems like only the Tenere 660 fits that bill, in my opinion....
