There was one Enduro Model same as the yellow one in the photo,
 floating around Moranbah from new owned and raced by Mike Greenaway,
 then returned to the Dealer after a month or 2, (he didn,t get on with it)
  and then raced by his son Greg Ives around Mackay.
It then disapeared in the early eighties, possibly went to Brisbane?
Was a Thundering good thing, like to find it nowadays!

Does Tadpole have any of his bikes now. Last saw him about 8-10 years ago, broke his ankle at Dray park riding the newly built red métis se. He was stating it was going to be hard to convince the warden to let him out again.

that's a nice one.  By normal CCM Trials prices (advertised ones anyway) it's cheap. Of course what they actually sell for could be something completely different.
The dollar price is about £4700, roughly half what is typically asked for a nice one.  If it was in the UK at that price I would be buying it.  It would look nice in my garage!

We do live in strange times, so I wonder if it will find a home.....

I think I'd want a bit more preparation for racing for that sort of money. $13K Oz dollar without shipping and it needs new shocks and a new seat cover at the very least......I'm not that desperate for a CCM

There has been a few parts go missing over the years and it will require all new plastics, seat, and electrics, a complete engine re-build with new bearings, bushes  & shims, re-build both wheels with new rims. If it was me i would bead blast the engine casings & the frame then get it  re-plated. All in all I would estimate and total cost of around £3.000 tops to put this bike back to concurs condition which will give it a potential price tag of £30K plus.

I have tears in my eyes.  £3k to restore it to concours.  Ha, dream on.   I only wish that were the case.  The motor can swallow that in the blink of an eye.   I doubt you could get it race ready for that.   £5k+ in the motor alone if you want a flyer and that is just on the motor.  Frame needs replating.  Clucking bell and that is also done in the £3k restoration????   This is 2014 not 1982!  A set of spokes is £90 now, plus builds, shoes, rims, tyres, sprocket, paint the hubs.  Kiss £1000 good buy to sort the wheels out.  Shocks  ~ gulp.... the list goes on.

If anyone can completely rebuilt a CCM to new concours condition, please contact me urgently.

I have a couple of concours works CCMs that I would sell for £30k a piece.  Form a que here.....

It sure has. It seems people will pay more for a basket case than they will for a well prepared running bike. Even if this one does have proven history.....It still needs a truck load of cash thrown at it.

I have never seen a CCM works bike with just bore and stroke on it.....  but I guess they did what needed to be done to go racing on Sunday.

I would want to know who rode it where and when. 

I wonder how genuine the bids are......

Oh and reserve not met..... gulp!
