Yes, the Templar X is $1950+300 that's $2250 versus $1600 for a Hawk 250 and $1700 for a Hawk X. Like I had previously said. That's not factoring that I then have to pay tax on the sale price including shipping at my state DMV.

Yes. I just saw that you wanted a Templar X but decided it would be too expensive. The Hawk X has conventional front suspension and 14hp CGclone 230cc engine. For about $40 more (plus $300 shipping that you would not pay additional sales tax on), the Templar M has much better frame, beefy USD front forks (much stiffer), engine guard, large bearclaw footpegs, adjustable brake/clutch levers, and a 20 hp 249cc engine. That ZS172FMM-3A is a nice engine. Taken together, much more for the money. It is a little taller, but easy to drop a couple of inches (Templar Resource guide).

Both are 5 speeds. PSM still has some Temp M in stock, and they will send an MCO with motorcycle in the vehicle type field. It is an inch or so taller.

Q9 is new to me.
