2001 · Super motard
The 2001 CCM 604 Roadster represents a distinctive entry in the supermoto category, a niche where British grit met European flair. As a product of Clews Competition Machines, it carried a heritage of off-road prowess translated into a street-legal package. In its era, it faced competition from models like the KTM 640 LC4 Supermoto and Husqvarna SM610, all vying for riders who appreciated lightweight handling and punchy single-cylinder power in a road-biased machine. The 604 Roadster wasn't about outright speed, but rather a unique riding experience that set it apart.
At the heart of the 604 Roadster was its 597.00 ccm (36.43 cubic inches) engine. This single-cylinder unit produced a respectable 53.00 HP (38.7 kW) at 7500 RPM, providing ample power for its intended purpose. This translated to a top speed of 160.0 km/h (99.4 mph), making it capable on faster roads while still retaining its supermoto character. A significant factor in its agility was its remarkably low dry weight of 138.0 kg (304.2 pounds). Fuel capacity was a generous 20.00 litres (5.28 gallons), offering a decent range for extended rides.
Riding the CCM 604 Roadster was a distinctly supermoto affair. Its upright stance and wide handlebars provided excellent leverage, ideal for flicking through corners and navigating urban environments. The high seat height of 865 mm (34.1 inches) (if adjustable, lowest setting) is characteristic of the category, allowing for a commanding view of the road and easy maneuverability. The lightweight nature of the bike contributed significantly to its nimble handling, making it a joy on twisty roads. While not built for long-distance touring, its ergonomic setup was comfortable for spirited rides.
The CCM 604 Roadster appealed to riders seeking an engaging and somewhat raw motorcycle experience. Its supermotard category designation speaks to its appeal for those who appreciate the playful nature of off-road bikes adapted for the street. It was for the enthusiast who valued responsive handling and a direct connection to the road over brute force or luxurious features. For those who enjoy a lively thumper and dynamic cornering, the 2001 CCM 604 Roadster offered a compelling and individualistic choice.
