You are learning what you need to know.
Don't count out Templar M ($1550 at PSM, plus shipping), which has the simpler 5 speed version of the 249cc Zongshen engine- (ZS172-FMM-3A). This makes the same horsepower (~19hp) as the 6 speed 249cc engine.
The Temp M does not have fully adjustable suspension, but you can change to heavier fork oil to stiffen the action, and shim the springs for more preload. Rear shock does have preload adjustability.
This is $350 lower price than the Temp X.
I acutally sold my 6 speed X and stuck with the original 5 speed 2022 Templar X. I like the engine.
You might think of this as a Hawk (14hp) with more enduro leaning geometry and a more powerful engine (19hp).
