Engineered by CCM for the super motard motorcycle segment, the 2008 CCM R45 utilizes a 443 cc (27 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 40 HP (29.2 kW). With a specific output of 90.3 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 R45 measures 128 kg (282 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.31 HP/kg (3.2 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 12-liter (3.2 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.
