Ordered one

Waiting. Been eyeing stuff like a TBR7 for quite some time. Got ready to put down on one and they seemed to have disappeared. Mostly. I was looking at a Hawk as an alternative and I stumbled across a Templar. Not knowing anything about it, a Google search turned up conversations on this forum. It always bugged me that the others weren't actually 250cc and a Templar ticked that box. Much reading later, I found there was a lot less mucking around required to get a Templar road happy. So...I ordered a six speed model. Kind of bummed about no kicker but I want to use it as a commuter too so the extra gear won out.
I've got other bikes and truck I wanted something that wasn't technically an antique and didn't require 20 minutes of prep to get it ready to roll just to pop around to the store for something. Plus knobbies to chase grandkids around the trails a bit. Win-win. Couple of weeks out on shipping I guess, haven't really checked as they probably haven't even got it off the loading dock yet.
