JCM

SR 250-1989

Modern trials machine 100% french made

In 1983 joel Corroy, a motorcycle dealer from Vésoul in center of France, founded his JCM marque. A keen trials rider and brilliant engineer, he had conceived a modern trials machine, with progressive single-damper rear suspension, a potent Italian Tau engine and a compact frame that was highly amenable to the best level of development. From the start, the JCM proved extremely competitive.

A Difficult Beginning

There's a vast gulf fixed berween creating a prototype and putting it into produclion. Joel Corroy burned up a vast amount of money, energy and hope. The lack of competent subcontractors in the French motorcycle business saw jCM run out of funds. Joel

Corroy then became associated with Streif, a major local automotive supplier who bought the JCM business in 1987.

Ten-Model Range

Now JCM had adequate funds and the backing of the CAO industrial group. At the

1989 Paris Salon, the marque displayed a fine range of ten models with its own-make

engines, available in three capacities and four stages of tune. Unfortunately, the commercial results didn't equal the large amount of money invested. Furthennore. at that lime the competition unleashed a wave of high-tech features to which even the flagship SR250 model was unable to respond. The punishment was grim: from 1990, JCM was condemned to assemble to order, using its own frames with Spanish Gas-Gas engines.
