2024? IF I was going to buy another new CB, and it was all legal here in CA, I'd say the Templar would probably be it. Reality is though, living here, we still have few options for road legal China bikes. It's why we bought the CSC's.

I agree on the quality concerns, except the welds. That is unless you're only referring to welds on older China bikes.
The welds on the frame of my TT250 are some of the nicest looking welds I've seen on a mass produced motorcycle frame (semi-bespoke stuff excluded). That doesn't necessarily speak to their strength, but the welds on my bike are sure pretty for what I assume are robot welds.
