I found two of them (kind of) . . . Only motorcycle in the world to run prototype Surefire ARC-2 lights is a GS
Looks really cool, but I wonder why did SF bother to develop such mounting system... that is definitely the least cost-effective choice for bike lighting...
Surefire had both of their ARC lights on their Web site without prices for a while, but I see they have now removed the lights. I wonder if they ran into production issues and will be pushing out their September launch?
It's too late for a September launch but they are back on the site again . . . with prices.
ARC-2 $2820
ARC-3 $1300

As of today (first time I checked lately) they are not on the website again. Wonder what's going on at Surefire about them?
Its not a difficult decision for me neither as it will be the Surefire..$2820 for 4500 Lumens vrs about $2500 for 7500 Lumens and two power levels for a Xeray LeMax. Not a difficult decision for me.
ARC3 Ultra-High Single-Output 4500 lumens $1300 (Was 2000 lumens. Maybe a typo?)
Prices are already listed on the SF Website and looks like 1st of November. Arc-2 for me..I wonder how much more the 120min battery will cost over the 80 min one?That's interesting. 4500lm would actually make a lot more sense for a light of this size and only 50 mins runtime. It looks to be using 6 x 18650 in the handle compared to the ARC-2 8C which presumably uses 8 x 18650 and has 80 mins runtime. If this is the case then the ARC-3 is looking better all the time and at less than half the price of the ARC-2 is a real "bargain".
I'm getting really bored of seeing all these new compact LED flood monster/ hand burner lights so the ARC-3 is a breath of fresh air. We'll have to wait and see what the actual price ends up being when it goes on sale (probably 2015).
You should consider as well, the XeRay XV-LX70 (50/70 watt) from XeVision (a USA company). About 7500 lumens on the high setting. It has an equally high build quality and it produces far more lumens than either of these you mentioned. Some well respected members here have tested it, with outstanding results. I am sure someone will comment.
Also it is in serial production NOW.
Whom sells these on the retail level? Dealers?
