LOL unlucky. CCM are awful bikes!
If your after some supermoto wheels, talon hubs and excel rims are a good start. A set of wheels will be expensive though so probs ebay or visordown.com for some second hand wheels.

UBER expensive!
Better off finding a second hand set suitable for the bike, you can end up paying £800+ for a set of newrims..
I've got Talon Hubs and Excel rims on my DRZ, I got them second hand for a few hundred.

 I know there not great.. Its a 664 so it has Suzuki engine and its had a fair bit spent on suspension etc so I'm not to fussed. Getting it cheap aswell so I'm happy to put a bit of money into it. Yeh just had a wee scan about and wheels are v expensive so will look out for a 2nd hand set I think.
This is the bike: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220425604826&_trkparms=tab%3DWatching

Was looking at drz's but this is local and I'm getting a good deal on it. To be honest I'll probably have it a couple months and sell it on. Just want a toy because Ive got a lot of time off ove rhte next few months.

If I was you I'd run the CCM for a year or so and let the SM bug take hold, then invest in something a little bit more lairy

Yeh I'm hoping I'l like the style of the bike more than the bike if you know what I mean. Found myself going out on my mille and doing 150+ way too often and was worried about my license.. Saying that I dont think the police will apreciate wheelies either..

There is no rules for bikes! Dodgy small plate on it, and wack it 
Ive fell inlove with V twin noise. Ive even considerd getting a sv650 just to put some pipes on it
If you can afford it would buy both. Ive got abit of a SM bug atm. But the lack of top speed really winds me up. I love how they ride though. I just can decide!

If you get pulled for doing a wheelie on the thumper you can always argue it caught you out and it was an accident

It cant be that easy to get the front up.. Even the mille needed a wee clutch slip in 2nd to get it up...

Depends on the gearing. An SXV 550 will lift the front off the lights and continue to hold it in the air off power alone till you hit the limiter in 5th at 115mph!
Singles arent as powerful but with lower gearing they can share the same traits, CCM however is just a tad too mild for power wheelies but it wont stop you from trying!
