Engineered by CCM for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2008 CCM FT710 pairs a 710 cc (43.3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 55 HP (40.1 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 77.5 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the FT710 measures 120 kg (265 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.46 HP/kg (2.18 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 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.
Within MotoLibrary's CCM archive, this model family spans 2 indexed model years from 2008 to 2009, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
