Some of the level 1 dealers are supposed to get theirs shipped out this week. When I put my deposit on mine it is "supposed" to be shipped out on January 1st. But I am not holding my breath to hard that day. I am hoping you are wrong on the February date though, but my dealer said Suzuki and Polaris are awful on their predicted ship dates. They usually are just as surprised as everybody when they lift up the tailgate on the truck to what will be on it.

I have a family member that works at a shop in the western states. He said that his shop received their first Outlaw 525 last Tuesday. They will receive two more in December. He got to ride the 525, after they put it together, he said that it was extemely fast and the predator 500 that they rode at the same time would not even come close to hanging with it. I will try to get some more details from him, but I know they only took it out for a few minutes. KTM makes some great engines and I am sure the Outlaw 525 will have that same quality in the motor. My friends with motorcycle KTM 450's and KTM 525's speak well about them.

i've got a deposit on mine. The dealer i bought from showed me the inventory list the have got back from polaris with an estimated "Jan-Feb" delivery date. They're saying march because they don't want to get my hopes up, but he showed me the note and said thats about as soon as they'd expect it. I'm anticipating mid feb-mid march. Can't wait tho!!! Besides that: The valve adjustments on the 525 is the old style, with no stuppid buckets and shims, meaning it will be really easy to do even if you do have to do it frequently, so that makes me happy. We all ride pretty hard, and lots of my friends have Preddys and we've got a YFZ and a Z-400in the group and those dang things suck SO BAD to do a valve adjustment on. You have to drive to town to by shims and then re-time the whole damn motor every time! sucks, and with as hard as we run, about every 2-3 months is the norm even tho we don't get to ride all that much. even if the timeframe on the 525 is anywhere near that (which its not from talkin to KTM dirt bike guys) but even if it is, no big deal because its a really simple procedure.
