Templar X success!
First, a big shout-out to Thumper for his assistance.
So, I was in the market for a Chinese Dual Sport. My buddy and I recently sold our jointly-owned KLR-250 and wanted a bike for his cabin and for some local rides. He recently purchased a Hawk 250. During my research, I really liked the Templar X, but unfortunately, it's not sold for "on-road use." After a bit of research and exchanging a few messages with a fellow member from this site, I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I'm located in St. Louis, MO. I ordered the bike through Power Sports Max, and it arrived just 3 days later. I was blown away by the quick delivery. I assembled the bike and installed a Nibbi 30 mm carb and Nibbi coil. I never even ran the bike with the original carb. The MCO arrived a few days later, but it noted "OFF ROAD MOTORCYCLE." I reached back out to Thumper, who passed along an email contact at PSM. I sent a very friendly email to his contact, and 5 days later, I had a new MCO with "MOTORCYCLE" on it. I called my insurance agent at Farmers, sent a picture of the MCO, and 10 minutes later, the bike was insured. With the paperwork in hand, I ran down to my local DMV in Ballwin and got her plated. I'll post back my thoughts once I've put some miles on her. |

Congrats! We're twins!
I'm also in Missouri, down near Springfield. Had no issues titling and plating in Christian County with the Off Road Motorcycle marking on my MCO. I installed a set of handguards on mine: JFG RACING Motorcycle Universal Handguards Dirt Bike Hand Guards For Sur Ron ATV Pit Bike off Road Motocross Enduro MX- Black https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Waiting on a Fischmoto spark arrestor to arrive tomorrow so I'll be fully legal and ready to hit the logging roads out in the Mark Twain |

Removed the old (incorrect) link. Here's a link direct to the mfg. Last edited by Aussie_in_MO; 03-13-2024 at 12:28 PM. |

You're right, the link I posted was for the 40 kit. Good catch, just edited
