New X Guy Here

Hi all, I figured I would introduce myself. I am more a lurker than a talker, and I typically am not vocal about things I do not know much about, so unless I have something worthwhile to share, I'll probably stay in the shadows.

However, I did order my first "china" bike the other day and cannot express how grateful I am for finding this forum. In fact, I would almost say I might not have gone through with the purchase as quickly as I did had I not found this forum.

I pulled the trigger on a Templar X 250, 6 speed. It looks like it may arrive tomorrow even.

I'm not new to bikes, but it's been nearly ten years since I've ridden.

Anyways, you'll probably find me over in the Dual Sport/Enduro forum. See ya'll around!

The Templar X is amazing! You won't be disappointed with that. You will, however, want to check out Pete's torque specifications.

Thanks guys. And thanks for the link on the torque specs. I will definitely be checking it out.

I am sure I will have lots of questions and such. I'll most likely start a thread soon as it gets in to show off the new ride!

Welcome to the Forum! Are you planning to register and plate the Templar? What state are you in?
