The templar X 6 speed counterbalanced is a better overall package and worth the small premium over the Hawk 250 in either Carb or EFI eversions. Much better commuter and road manners
The templar M 5 speed with kickstart is a bit lighter and potentially more robust making for a more offroad/soft enduro type aplication.
The Hawk 250 is just an old /outdated at this point basically becoming the base model that will get the job done.
Personally I would pay premium and get the Templar 250 X...
If the engine grenades pretty much any chonda clone including the CG250 will fit in the frame without much fuss...
