Well I put down $300 on mine. I haven't decided which way I will go yet. I did tell my dealer that I was going to wait for a month, so that probably means that my black/silver XX will get sold to someone else. But I'm not going to buy it until some real info gets released in the magazines. Although some of them can be biased at times as well. I don't think that a dealer can legally keep your deposit if you change your mind. As far as the rim issue on the Outlaw, I don't think there is much to that, my friend has a 500 and he has had zero issues (with his rims) in the 2 years since he bought it. Also, what do you think that you need to do to get the 525 to running "correctly"? The only thing that I have read is that they tend to run lean and you need to put a JD jet kit in it which may set you back $80 bucks. I agree on the Polaris factor in that I trust a Honda much more, but if you search for reviews on the Outlaw 525 and even long term reviews, the units built post 1/07 have proven to be very reliable. They certainly dont have the fit and finish of the XX. Go ride a 525, I think you'll be impressed. The other factor for me is that I can get an Outlaw for $6,850. That said, I'm still holding out hope for the XX. And as far as my source, all I can say is that he is in the industry, but he has not ridden the machine himself yet.
