Built around CCM's classic motorcycle platform, the 2009 CCM CR-40 relies on a 398 cc (24.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 42 HP (30.7 kW). With a specific output of 105.5 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the CR-40 measures 120 kg (265 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.35 HP/kg (2.86 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 840 mm (33.1 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
