OVERVIEW
Tha Misfit is Cleveland CycleWerks latest motorcycle
release. Tha Misfit is powered by a 250cc single cylinder
motor, and is street-legal. The bike is posioned as an
affordable alternave to the overpriced and over motored
commuters currently on the market.
Cleveland CycleWerks is a small motorcycle company
headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio USA. CCW designs and
develops affordable motorcycles and motorcycle parts. Tha
Misfit extends CCW’s product range with a beauful and
affordable Café style motorcycle. Tha Misfit is the answer
to everyone out there that thought they could not afford a
A Triumph to take on the world; all new bike, all new
excitement. The ulmate choice for the long haul rider,
class leading handling and designed to connue the
journey when the tarmac ends.
A brand new 1215cc three-cylinder engine produces
137PS and 121Nm of torque for effortless overtaking and
a thrilling spread of power throughout the range. Built
‘from the ground up’, components specifically designed
and manufactured to produce superb torque ‘on demand’
include the ignion ming, inlet and exhaust port shape,
as well as the combuson chamber.

quality, beauful and fun motorcycle, affordably priced.
Sco Colosimo, from CCW remarks, “The Misfit is really
the sort of Café bike that everyone aempts to build in
their home shop. Chopping out all the bullshit tabs and
brackets that you don’t want and pung on all the cool
components that you do.” We think Sco is trying to say
that CCW, being a small company can afford to build bikes
in a more custom manner, with more control over the
design and quality of the final product. Sco adds “Being a
small company, we build bikes that as enthusiasts, we want
to ride, and this directly translates to the types of bikes that
other enthusiasts and beginners can appreciate.”
Features include inverted forks, weighted bar-ends, dualpiston
callipers front and rear, wave rotors front and rear,
progressive rate remote reservoir rear shocks, and many
more details. The rear seat is covered by a plasc cowl,
(for a true café racer look) that can be removed to reveal a
passenger’s seat, for two up riding.
In my oppinion, this lile bike, is well worth looking at as a
first-me bike when starng off.
MSRP is R26000.00 and available from The Biker Store
