I ordered a Templar M after July 4th weekend. I had been looking at a lifan kpx 250, Hawk dlx, and templar x. I decided on the templar x, for the six speed, and adjustable suspension with almost as much (rated) hp, as the dlx at 19. Torque figures were right up there too. If the kpx had 20 with efi and the templar's had 19 without, I was hoping I could squeeze 10-15% more out with a some basic modificaions. The Templar X was out of stock everywhere so I bought an M.

Anyway, after purchase I received an email with a tracking number with R&L, I was familiar with R&L having dealt with them while working at a mine supply warehouse.

The bike arrived much earlier than expected. In fact, if I had not checked the shipment, I would have been caught totally off guard. Even so, I received a call from the driver who told me there was no way he could bring it to my door. I live on a residential street on which requires coming up a hill on a Narrowish road. The driver informed me that his truck with 40 foot trailer was all R&L had available in this area. I was a little perturbed but not shocked. The driver was supposed to wait for me to arrive to unload the bike (I was 10min out) but I passed him on my way home. He'd already put the crate beside the bottom street that leads to other houses, and a road that runs to the top street and my driveway. I was a little upset that he'd just left it beside the road like that, and a little more upset that i'd have to load up my tools, and try to get it put together enough to get it home that evening/night (working in the evening hours then dark until about 11pm)when I got the bike home.

It was packaged perfectly, with zero damage. This post is getting way too long so let me just say, that every step of the way, PowersportsMax (Zora I believe) worked with me every step of the way. I was told the MCO/BillofSale would arrive later and it did arrive about a week later. No big deal to me. As I was kept in the loop as to what I should expect the entire time.

Now, regarding the snafu with delivery I have to say after contacting Powersportsmax, again via email each time, I was presented options on how to resolve my issue with shipping. I chose an option and made a tiny addition / counter which was accepted and taken care of promptly.

I would definitely order again from this company. I know from reading that some have had less than positive experiences with Maxpro, but I have Nothing absolutely nothing to complain about other than the shipping issue that they happily resolved to my satisfaction.

If I had one complaint, it's that I wanted the X and 2 weeks after receiving my M, it was back in stock. This is not their fault. I should have inquired as to when it would be available.

Regardless. I'm more than satisfied with my purchase thus far, the bike has good power and arrived without damage

I am not being paid to promote PowersportsMax, and was not asked by them to post a review.

I'm posting in hopes someone else will check them out and as long as you realize you're not the only customer they have you'll be fine. I can't say anything about RandL other than my shipment arrived without damage.
