I was able to tag the Templar X in TN but did need the MCO to state 'Motorcycle'. PowersportsMax sent me a revised one with no problems. The Templar is a 'tall' bike unless you do the lowering mod described on this forum.

That's good to know. Thanks!

My Bashan Storm had the counterbalanced version of the CG250 (233cc Honda clone) made by Zongshen. Yes, it was a 5 speed, but you can always change to a larger front sprocket, and smaller rear sprocket to lower the rpm at highway speeds. 14hp limits top speed no matter what (wind drag mostly).

I do not know if that Zongshen CG250 on the BMS 250 CRP is the counterbalanced engine. It is definitely a Bashan bike, but I see no mention of counterbalancing.

The left case cover (stator/rotor side) on the BMS 250 has an oil level window below it (nice). I think that the left case cover has an extension forward of the crankshaft, which could be linkage to a counterbalancer. Maybe the best thing would be to contact Bashan directly to clarify this. Here is their website:

I think they can tell you accurate info on that engine. Not sure PSM has all details.

I sent a request for info on the Bashan 250 CRP, asking about the engine. This is the response I got.

"It's discontinued model and no more will be distributed"

I think it's done. No one seems to have stock either. Maybe one place in Arlington. Pick up in person, NOT assembled would be wise.
