Paladin 300
Who knows about this new(?) bike? Looks like a Templar 250 X with a 300cc fuel injected, 4 valve head, water cooled, 6 speed, counter ballanced.

Looks pretty sweet. 25kw is 33.5hp. Not too shabby.

That is the sweet spot. Just wish it was air cooled.

I saw this bike on the power sports website for the first time yesterday. It seems to be a fairly recent addition to their line up. Is there any history with this engine?

Hmm? This is enough to overlook my fear of EFI. 6 speed counterbalanced 4 valve engine, and liquid cooling (which is awesome for off road slow trail riding, just add a fan).
I found a Loncin engine that seems to match. Loncin KE300F If this is the same engine, that bore x stroke is extremely oversquare which will allow higher rpm. Their plot of power versus rpm goes to nearly 10k rpm! Shorter stroke also means a shorter cylinder, more room up top for valve access. Nice. At 78mm x 61.2mm, it has 292.4 cc displacement calculated on the Spicer displacement calculator (if this is indeed the same engine). It does look like the same engine. This is a promising development.

It's a Kawasaki KLX300 engine clone, same bore and stroke.
This engine is NOT EPA certified to the best of my knowledge so it'll end up being an Orion 250 Loncin situation where if you do get it registered they will end up revoking it eventually. |

The Power Sports website lists this bike as EPA certified but not CARB certified.
My Templar 250X came EPA certified...as an off road only mc. With a MSO stating "motorcycle" I easily obtained an Oregon license plate and title. |

Your Templar X 250 also has an engine stamped with the wrong code to avoid EPA certification for a newer engine model. The boxes all state off-road only and you had to specifically ask for an MSO saying "motorcycle" because the default is "off-road motorcycle".
