If you are OK with spending a bit more, the Trailmaster TM36 is a significant upgrade from Templar X. Mostly the engine, which is a liquid cooled Zongshen model. It has a better carburetor too, the PWK34. It is an oval slide carb, and you can get into it without drilling or grinding. They call it a 300, but actual displacement is 278cc. It makes about 7-8 more horsepower than the 172FMM found in the Templars and KPX. You will need to ask about a lighting package though. Cleveland Cycle Werks made and sold street legal handmade bikes with adapted lighting systems and sold them in Ohio, so I think you will be able to get a roadworthiness inspection (typically State Police do these) to get it plated.
