Either bike would be OK, but you may also consider Bashan model like the Recon, Storm or Brozz. These are more like the Hawk, but add inverted front forks. Bashan Storm also adds a good luggage rack.
The seat on the Templar is more comfortable than you might think. But it is a very tall bike at 36" seat height. I think it would be pretty easy to lower, but you may not want to work on it. The Templar is a whole lot of bike for the money, but it is a full size enduro. Templar also has a more powerful engine (19hp ZS172FMM). The M has a 5-speed version of this engine, and the X has the counterbalanced 6-speed version of this engine.
The hawk, and all of the Bashan bikes have the 14 horsepower Zongshen ZS167FMM.
All the Templars are street legal. Occasionally, you might have to ask for a corrected MCO. Powersports Max has done this for a few people that got a MCO with dirt bike written on it. Powersports Max has been good about this.
