Engineered by CCM for the classic motorcycle segment, the 2009 CCM FT710 pairs a 710 cc (43.3 cu in) oil & 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 910 mm (35.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
