I've been looking more at the X-Pro Templar X and am really starting to lean that way even without the EFI.

As Texas Pete shared they have a fall sale going on where I can get it for $1749.95. Unfortunately as Sport Rider pointed out, they do indeed charge delivery which appears to be about $300 which brings the price back up the same as many of the other options i've been looking at.

I don't know what a manny store is, so someone will need to loop me in on that.

From what you guys have shared here, the Templar X is the superior bike in both build and performance correct? (At least when comparing the Templar X & the X-Pro Hawk DLX & RPS Hawk motorcycles.
I like that the Templar X has the counter balanced engine & has the 6th gear and I've read that the Templar X has fully adjustable forks and Shock. As I shared previously I was really leaning toward getting something with Fuel Injection just for basic ease of use, but from what i've read the carbs aren't that bad and if I needed to do an upgrade on the Templar X, it would be a straight forward process.

So is the consensus that the Templar is the better option even without Fuel Injection?

Other than the items mentioned above are all other components basically the same in terms of quality?

I saw another post stating that the suspension is a weak point on the Templar, but I figure that this probably holds true for all of the bikes at this price point.

I looked at the suggested Lifan KPX250, and really liked it. It appeared to check all the "would like to have" marks. However the price and is $1000 more than the other options.

Would the Lifan x-pect be worth considering, it does has EFI but only 19"/17" wheels and the x-pro version is about $1600. (Not sure what the shipping would be)
