Armstrong motorcycles were produced from 1981 to 1987.
Having once been interested in Triumph with unsuccessful results, this large engineering firm took over CCM in 1980.
1982 A 347cc version was added in the same format and the off-road CCM models became badged as Armstrong CCM. By the middle of the year, Rotax engines were employed.
1983 Machines were being supplied to Can-Am for the American market, with badges to suit.
1985 The company won a contract to supply the British Army with large numbers of trail machines. These were built to military specifications and fitted with a de-tuned version of the big four-valve Rotax single. After that, the road racing twins had little success.
1987 Harley-Davidson bought the military machine operation and the rest of the business was sold back to the founder of CCM, Alan Clews.
Saxon built roadracing motorcycles using Armstrong engines in 1989-1990.
