    Hi.
    I looking to get a bike for a daily 16 mile through London.
    I’ve had a few bikes and scooters over the years, but this would be my first big bike since the 250 X7 in 1990. I’m a little concerned about peoples comments and reviews regarding the harsh ride. London roads are riddled with pot holes.
    Is there a model that suits this better than others?
    I like the look of the Street Moto, Street Tracker and the Classic Tracker best. But they all look fantastic.

    Hi I’ve got a spitfire six, I adjusted my suspension setting to the softest, this helped, and I’ve noticed that after getting a few more miles under my belt it seems to have bedded in and got softer

    Thanks for that.
    Would you think a daily commute through pot holed streets would be ok? My present bike it terrible and the main reason for me looking.

    Yes no problem, if you look on the forum some guys have had the front end modified with shorter internal spacers, not a big deal, and trust me ccm are a joy to ride
