I was all geared up yesterday after riding a 700XX at a local dealer. Was going to get the bike for $8200 OTD. I planned on picking it up today, but last night I checked to see what all tires were available for it cause the stock sissy dunlops are just that... sissy. THERE IS NOTHING AVAILABLE!!!! I was hoping to see some 6 ply razors, or holeshots... but NOTHING. I called ITP and they said they dont have any 10" wheels that fit either, and dont plan on making any wheels or tires either!!! Maxis said that they plan on having some out next year... But Im really worried that this bike wont get the aftermarket support that my raptor has, or say the TRX450 has.

I wanted an IRS bike SO BAD. Im turning 30 this year and its beginning to catch up to me... I wanted to race some sort of GNCC for a while b4 I got too old, and the casual, yet hard riding I do up at Tower City is starting to wear me out on my raptor. Im just not ready for a ute yet... I like my gears and jumping too but the rough ride of the raptor is starting to get to me.... I got thrown from the back seat or a 300Z doing 100MPH when I was 18, and dislocated my right shoulder 2 times now, first when I was 23... but the car accident is starting to come back and haunt me....

I need you guys to tell me if my worries about this are silly, cause I have no idea how long it takes for stuff to come out for new bikes, and how well honda is doing in the aftermarket world, ESPECILLY THIS BIKE... I bought my raptor in 2003 and have been in my little raptor bubble/world since then... I rode the Outlaw 20 min b4 the 700XX at another dealership, and GOD, there is just no comparing the two of them.

Could any of you XX guys speak up???

Thanks from a Yamaha owner for the help.
