Maybe I am mistaken, or the gearing info I have is wrong. Doesn't look wrong, but who knows.

I believe all Templar Xs are 6spds...it is stock with the 13/49T. 6th gear mine is about 54mph at 7k.

For maybe 4-6 months (maybe longer) when first introduced in the US market by PSM, Templar X had a 5 speed non-counterbalanced engine with a kick starter (172FMM-3A). I bought one and still own it. It's like a Templar M with added adjustable suspension.

I always called the 6 speed a 2022-1/2 Templar X (or beyond)

...well, there I go learning something. I still would appreciate any regearing recommendations/what gear inch should I be aiming for.
