The specs are up on can-am's website. It weighs 345lbs dry.</end quote></div>


That sounds more reasonable.........Obviously they were exaggerating their advantage over the Honda......

When I bring up the specs it gives me DS250 specs........

They are dead on with there numbers. The Honda has 42.7hp, 9% more then that gives the DS450 46.6hp. Now 46.6hp divided by there weight of 345lbs gives a ratio of .135hp per lb. Now the 450r with 42.7/363lbs gives a ratio of .117hp/lb. Now X's that by 15% gives you .018, add that to Hondas ratio of .117, gives you .135 which is exactly what the ratio of the DS450 is.

Yea that happened to me too. I realized I was at the Canadian English site. Go to the Can-Am US English site, it will work.

Did anyone look at the dyno chart on the ds450 section of the Can-Am site? They show the power curve of the DS verses the competiton. Which quad is the one on the bottom that has two peaks? That's a weird looking power curve.
