CCM RAF BENEVOLENT FUND SPITFIRE 2022

According to CCM Motorcycles

Inspired by a bygone era of British motorcycles, and the machine ridden by the legendary TE Lawrence, his beloved Brough Superior. With its elegant hand-stitched luggage panniers and vintage front show-plate, the bike gives an unmistakable nod to the pride and joy of Lawrence of Arabia.

Taking further styling cues from the original Supermarine Spitfire prototype, the light blue colour scheme mirrors that of Spitfire K5054, built in 1936.

Invasion stripes, as used in D-Day landings wrap around the tank, and even the extended carbon fibre mudguard tips have the same chromium yellow taken from the original Spitfire propeller design.

Further attention to detail can be found behind the plush, floating saddle, where the signature of Sydney Hennan, father of CCM founder Gail Clews, who lost his life serving in the RAF, is inscribed in the machined alloy seat base.

Whilst thoroughly modern in design and efficiency, the power behind this unique motorcycle comes from the same characterful 600cc single cylinder motor used across all Spitfire variants endowing this very special variant with a timeless feel. CCM’s signature artisan trellis frame provides the underpinnings for this exclusive model.

Just 100 of these exquisite bikes will be hand-built to commemorate 100 years since the formation of the Royal Air Force.
