CCM GP450 -- the ultimate adventure bike?

Motorcycle Mike said:

Does anyone here know about/have intimate knowledge of CCM Motorcycles (Clews Competition Motorcycles) in particular the GP450?

I hear they are being sold in Toronto now, and they sound like the unicorn of adventure bikes:

450cc, 40hp, 275lbs, 20l gas tank, 14" clearance, fuel injected, brembo brakes, 8000km service interval, 21"/18" spoked wheels... I can't think of a more ideal bike for some offroad adventuring -- enough clearance and power to get through, light enough to pick up or pull out of mud or sand pit.

Some guy on ODSC just bought one... can't wait to see it in real life:

$17 MRSP, then you tax it and maybe pay frt, prep and your at 20K unless there are back end discounts. Your into or beyond BMW pricing and well past a Tenere or Africa Twin and could have 2 Vstrom 650's. It better be really remarkable.
