Beauty is in the eyes of the beer holder.  To him his own...I personally think it sucks, and I doubt I'd race one even if I got it for free. I have yet to see them do really well in the GNCC's, but by the end of the year Bithell was doing ok. I guess we'll see w/McGill on one this year too.

Can-Am has the right chemistry as a company for the racer, etc.
And I applaud them for much that they do.
But they need a better 450.

I've looked at the dyno sheet on the ds and they rev as high as the kfx (about 10,500) but they make all of there power at 9000 rpm were we make power at 7000-8000. The front end has so much roll, you have to ride it like a 3-wheeler.

You could throw Chad Wienen on a 300ex and he would still win

Yup...there's the story of what'll happen w/ a DS450. Good summary w/that picture find.  Lol
McGill already blew his first up...I'm sure that's the first of many to come.
