I finally Picked up the Red XTX this morning. I was under the gun to get it over to Hauck in Rice Lake Wisconsin for the turbo install so I loaded it and drove and forgot to take PICS 
I only had a few minutes with it alone prior to loading to look it over. I will say it is not the usual Yamaha but we all knew that. The seats (they had 4 there) looked like they were made in China by 8 yr olds. There is a bit of gaping in the dash panels and yes the wiring tape jobs will have to be redone. Other than that I could not see any issues. I put the key in hit the switch and it started - YEA! The reverse is nice (but I had electric on the Polaris's). I dropped it at Hauck and there is 3 or 4 ahead of me so it probably won't be done till early next week.
I hope Monday, the snow is coming down, possibly 2' next 2 days in iron range and 24"+ in the UP I have the need for speed!
Oh yea MrSled if you are watching I didn't forget about our bet I am rooting for you - come on phone call.

I would think Rod or Steve at Powersports1.com could get what you want. Give them a call.

Called tousley and as I was making a deal on it a walk in buyer bought it. Lol oh well ya win some and lose some. Waiting on a couple places to call me back with prices. Thanks for the ones that did respond with info on dealers that had them.!
Crap that means I lose my Commission 
Sorry 09 these things are going quick I think the limited production run is going to make getting one difficult for thos that waited till now or later. Someone Posted on here earlier that the run was 5000 us and 5000 Canada. I will bet that over 1/2 were snow checked.
