After doing a bunch of research on this forum and others, I decided in August to order a X-Pro Templar X.

I ordered the bike directly from X-Pro which was fulfilled by PowersportsMax. $2171 to my door, was not charged tax and that made it the cheapest place to buy one.

I was nervous about the shipping but it came in perfect as can be condition from RL Carriers.

I assembled the bike over the course of a day, taking my time as my OCD compels. I also swapped in a Nibbi PE30 as part of the initial setup.

Fired the bike up and rode it approximately 6 joyful miles before crashing it having forgotten that I parked my car in a different place. Came up the driveway and around a corner, oops! Dropped the bike and broke my left shoulder in 4 places. Now featuring a metal plate over my collarbone and 9 screws. Laid me out for about 3 months, extremely painful, I highly do not recommend.

In recovery, I contacted X-Pro and told them I crashed and damaged my clutch lever, front fender, and shift lever, I was looking where I could buy replacements. X-Pro sent me replacements for FREE! Now that's customer service!

I now have about 350 miles on it.

I have the carburetor as mentioned before, a Nibbi coil, and a 42 tooth rear sprocket and an NGK DR8EA spark plug. Niche X-ring chain 110 links. I also added a Lithium battery which I highly recommend, cranks much faster than the stock or any AGM battery. Sometimes, the starter would lose to the engine compression and stop spinning the engine over for a second, no longer with the lithium. Also saved a few lbs.

With these modifications, I've hit 78 mph (GPS), very impressive considering I weigh 200 lbs.

Cruising at 60 or so mph, I'm finding about 50mpg. The 42 tooth sprocket seems perfect for someone my size. If you're exclusively highway commuting and or are a lighter person, a 40 or 39 might be doable.

Zero issues so far with the bike, nothing has come loose or malfunctioned. All electronics are working perfectly.

I can't recommend this bike highly enough, fun off road, plenty of power for cruising highways and back roads. The customer service was excellent and responsive.

If you're considering buying one, just do it.
