Zapkin..... I would caution against a fuel injected bike myself.... carbs are alot easier to fix
if something goes wrong and easier to upgrade to get a little more power out of it....
that's not true YET for EFI bikes ! I had to learn how to mod my EFI for the CSC RX4
before I could cure it's LEAN RUN.... although the electronics are fairly bullet proof changing the programing is a whole can of worms I doubt you want to get into !
yes it will probably run and last longer than a carbureted bike...but when it comes time to Modify and hop up the bike you are very limited with a EFI machine.
.... for your HEAVY butt get the bike with the most power or you will constantly be cursing it ! .... if it breaks fix it ! no bike will last forever !!!!!
....any bike is better than NO bike.... and the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
the bikes that you are looking at are essentially the same.... just get one !

well that probably means my fat ass needs a templar x with a carburetor. I just need the right gear ratio to haul 280 lbs of pure sexy down the road at 50-55 without redlining my bike and wearing it out 9 - 15 % faster. hehe. I am soooo indecisive but I think you just sold me on the templar
