Armstrong-CCM Motorcycles was a British motorcycle manufacturer based in Bolton, England. Alan Clews formed CCM in 1971 from what was left of BSA's off-road competition team and bought spares to produce his own motorcycles. This was a successful business and the Bolton factory was established. In 1981 Armstrong bought a majority share and Clews designed a road race competition motorcycle. They acquired the rights to the Rotax engine enduro motorcycle SWM XN Tornado from the Italian owners and developed the Armstrong MT500 military motorcycle used by the British Army.

  • Armstrong is een historisch merk van motorfietsen. Engels bedrijf dat in 1980 de productierechten van Barton Engineering, CCM en Cotton opkocht. Armstrong was voordien al toeleverancier voor de Britse motorindustrie. Het bedrijf ontwikkelde een 500 cc machine, maar werd bekender door de racemachine met een blok dat gebaseerd was op de Rotax 250 cc tandem twin, en die als bijzonderheid een carbonfiber frame had. De link met Rotax kwam voort uit het merk Cotton. Armstrong fabriceerde van 1984 tot de verkoop aan Harley Davidson motoren voor het Britse leger, bekend als de MT 500.
