why is the KPX250 75 pounds heavier than a Templar X?

Comparing website 'Net Weights', KPX250 (333 pounds) - Templar X (258 pounds) = 75 pounds!

I recall reading that the Templar X has a pretty stout/thick frame and includes a bash plate.

Neither is water-cooled.

Gas tanks are nearly the same size ((3 - 2.3 gallons) * 6.1 pounds per gallon = 4.27 pounds) ... not that that should matter since 'net weight' is dry i.e. without gas and lubricants.

What's 75 pounds, among friends? Well, 75 pounds / 258 pounds = 29% ... which strikes me as a pretty significant increase over the Templar X for the KPX250.

I'm puzzled ??? (as usual)
