I was chatting to Austin Clews a few weeks back and they are still awaiting European Homologation to be completed before production starts.
Last week there were three GP450s entered in the Trail Bike class in the Ryedale Rally (Austin himself rode one of them) two of them passed me at one point on the liaison and I can confirm they certainly don't lack speed! Although I suspect they were running the aftermarket 50 bhp "power plug".
Still pre-production bikes though with the black plastics and still with "BMW" cast into the engine cases
Final result
1 Haigh, Steve - CCM Adventure 450
2 Clotworthy, Kieran - Honda CRM 250
3 Bentham, Robert - CCM Adventure 450
4 Loupart, Rob - CCM 404 Dualsport
5 Clews, Austin - CCM Adventure 450
Had to laugh though when my mate Rob managed to be in second place after Saturday, splitting the two lead GP450s on his 10 year old CCM 404! And a final fourth place is pretty good going on what is a rather "well worn" 404
