I don't know the G450X motor but if the GP450 comes like that out of the crate (maybe less the Mules?) there's not much more you need to buy, is there (other than a used DRZ ready to go for half the price).
I am wondering if a 450 is in fact the ideal size for mono cylinder overland bike in terms of real world power, economy and weight. A typical 650 can get heavy in my experience and the Jap 250 I'm currently on can be a bit breathless on fast, busy roads but great on the dirt. A 400-450 version of my 250 - sort of modern XR400 - would be just right.
Good luck to CCM, I say. Nearly bought one in the late 70s but came to my senses. Years later had a 604 on one of my desert tours. Didn't miss a beat iirc compared to minor probs on KTMs, tho I do recall the airbox intake copped a lot of sand off the back wheel.
