Spot on Dan. I've watched with anticipation the Zongshen 172FMM 6 speed engine install on our Hawk250 Facebook page. Frankly, I'm not impressed. From what I've read, stock with the 172 is 19HP at the crank. With upgrades, as you've noted and has been proven by MotoCult, we can at least get our CG250s up to 20HP at the rear wheel. Thus, the conversion just isn't worth it to me...but that's me. I'd rather just buy a Templar X outright.

Same here... it's a fun project for the guy doing it, I'm sure.. but not what I'd do either. I don't think the effort will be worth the reward.
