Found these on another forum from a guy who races with a guy that races for Can-Am.
Can Am DS 450. All alum frame, bolted together=considerably stronger than any gusseted frames offered by any other OEM. Dry weight is 345lbs, 5 lbs lighter than the previous winner of this category, the new Kawi 450(sorry Kawi, outdid again). The engine puts out 47 hp stock, it is a single cylinder 449cc EFI engine. Fuel maps and such are easily changed for adding go-fast stuff like pipes and such. All alum swingarm, new ITP wheels and tires come stock. Oh yeah, it is the fastest sport bike available.
I was expecting under 340lbs, but with ITP tires and wheels will make it heavier. They could do the Dunflop like everyone else does to keep weight down, but doesn't last long once you throw on real tires. Mapping sounds like the C-dale, which should be nice. But I guess will see in a few weeks if this is true.
