I bought a Templar Dec 22, I ride it to work every sunny day and love it. I noticed, like many, it's loaded. The 6sp counterbalanced engine is worth the $150 over the 223cc bikes. Plus knobbie tires, adjustable suspension and something interesting with the fuel tank, petcock is frame mounted. Engine runs smooth, got 75mph out of it easily and still had more till redline. They are not going to be easy to find. Completely licensable in Arizona. Getting 45 mpg on short runs(3 miles to work).. I'm happy.

Mine is '23. Petcock on the tank. I can picture it being relocated though can't quite think why they would choose to.
Being finally well broken in, the other day I got in a hurry and pegged my X. On the flat with nothing but my 170 pound butt on it I managed 72-3mph with stock gears. According to the speedo. In my head to repeat that sometime and see what GPS has to say about that reading. I suspect it to be lower. Felt more like 60-something to me. |

I'm also thinking for myself to take another for the team, I seen it and couldn't help become so hooked by that Zong true 250 and its supermoto potential style at that price, just what's the deal with the MCO? If it comes saying "dirt bike", does that stop it from being registered in any state (I'm in Louisiana btw) regardless of it being EPA approved?

There is no oil filter. Only has an oil screen as below.

I have that same question in Tennessee. That's a concern for me.as well..
Seems like several companies are coming out with this configuration in Europe and US. I did notice in the bikes last photos of the box you can read X7-CB250F as a model #.. I need to see the casting #s on this engine... I did get a email from powersportsmax stating my status has been updated to "order verified". Guess I will find out all these answers soon enough. |

With me living in Arizona, I take if for granted that it would be registered here based on its street equipment as they do not look at what is on the MCO. That was the loophole with the RPS Hawk and Magician which are also EPA certified as 'Off-road Dirtbike' (that is what it states on Powersportsmax's website for the Templar and the Titan as far as what the bikes are certified as) but it seems like many states had started cracking down on the Hawk. I guess we shall see what is printed on the MCO.

Some updates. For the MSO this is the response I received.
"The certificate of origin defines it as dirt bike but it has same specs as on road vehcles. We provide paperwork for you to get registration but we dont guarantee it can be registered as road legal. You need to check with your local DMV." Found out that the Bike is Manufactured by Zuumav Wuyi. "Zuumav CB250" being sent to several companies such as Powersportsmax... Seems like there is alot of praise for this engine "zs172fmm-3a" in UK, Russiac Etc. Positive being torque, power and reliability. Negative being Vibration and maxed out displacement for upgrading HP. Some did mention timing chain stretch on 7 to 10k bikes but not on the Zongshen engine another manufacturer... |

This Templar 250 looks like fun. It has a nice long list of better components. But I am going to stick with my Storm for now, and help my son learn to ride and grow into his new TBR7. Depending on how things go (financially), I am still focusing on the GPX TSE 250R. More than twice as much money, but I still want a two stroke enduro.
My first bike was more like my Storm as a heavy 15hp entry level dirtbike (practically "state of the art" at the time-a Suzuki TS250 2 stroke). I do miss that engine. This modern GPX makes nearly 40hp, has MUCH stiffer and lighter frame, better and adjustable suspension, way better handlebar controls, way better foot controls/pegs, electric start, and GPX is developing a good reputation. I will bypass the injection system and mix, for rock solid dependable engine lubrication. |
