I have already made up my mind that I am going to get another bike, and I would buy a Templar X , but from what I have gathered, there is some risk of not being able to register them, because,from what I understand ,they are technically off road bikes. I can buy a 2003 DRZ400 S version with just over 16,000 miles, for $3,000, and it's listed as having new tires, but from the pictures they don't look as agressive as I would like. I talked to the guy, and he was talking about something being out of wack with the forks, or handlebars, or something, I really didn't understand how he was describing it. He said it doesn't really affect the bike. He lives in Marietta Ohio, which is about 50 miles up Interstate 77 from me, and while I would love to have a DRZ400, I don't really know how many miles before one can expect to start replacing clutches, and stators, and sprockets, I know they have a good reputation, but I have also seen somewhere that they have cam, or timing chain issues, but I don't know. Do you think that a new Lifan KPX, or for about the same price the DRZ is a better choice. MotoCheeze did a video the other day, and they are selling for $2899, at TX PowerSports. I think he said something about using a MotoCheeze code to save another $25.00, or $50.00.
