Ordered mine on Sat.!!! Cannot wait. I will be providing a ride review ASAP!!

I am going from an LTR-450 with PEP suspension and a built motor so I know the power will be a significant change right away but I am excited to work on the shocks and race a stock bike. I am planning on going into the indoor series racing stock and then doing some mods along the way. Then before the outdoors start, get Rossier to build me a ripper! I'll add pics when I can and let everyone know how it is.

I bet they are released pretty soon. A friend went to Kermit this last w/e, which is outside of El Paso. In El Paso there is a BRP factory. He called me and said they saw several 18 wheelers loaded with Can Am crates heading east.

A local dealer here in Scottsdale, Arizona has an 09 DS250 sitting outside already. No DS450's though, they said they didn't know when they would be in. Maybe they haven't ordered any though, because they told me they have 16 left over 08's still.

Yeah, we'll see how well that works. I ran my LTR axle most of the year w/o any troubles but I kind of expect to be buying a Dominator II or Axecalibur. No prob.

The XMX axle is as strong as aftermarket ones, Warnert team have raced all year with these axle without problems

Not so true. They go back and forth from Mexico to Canada for assembly. The crates at work read made in Mexico.

The one I bought was shipped from Mexico from a BRP plant. We were tracking it all the way to our store. We thought it was odd and sent a email to Mario (one of the top guys at BRP) he said they go back and forth from Canada to Mexico for assembly and this is why the crates read made in Mexico.
