The GPX 300R has a 4 valve, liquid jacketed engine, and EFI. The TM38 is now available with EFI, but that is a 2 valve engine. GPX seems to focus a little more on higher end components. These two bikes represent two nice tiers for the Chinese dirt bike market.
I will have to do a lot to my Templar to bring it closer to performance level of the TM38! These two are both NICE entries.
Price sensitivity? Well, the differences are real and the pricing reflects it, so people can choose where they want to be. I agree that the GPX is comparable to much more expensive bikes like KTM, Honda, Yamaha. I own a KTM, and the suspension/frame/components are impressively lightweight, tight, stiff and work well. My Templar is loosey goosey by comparison, but an amazing value at ~$2000. I'd be curious to ride the GPX to see just how close it comes.
