X-Pro Size comparisons?

I know this information is mentioned here and there across the forums but I thought it might be helpful to have in one place. My Templar X was delivered today and assuming everything goes well, I'd like to get a dual sport for my wife too.

What are the relative size differences between the X-Pro offerings? I'm looking for differences in weight, wheel size, clearance, seat height and length between the Hawk, Titan, Templar/M, and the X.

I apologize if I overlooked a sticky somewhere or if this same things is offered in one thread elsewhere.

I have the Templar X it's an amazing bike I wouldn't bother owning one that didn't have the extra gear for road riding and the counter balanced engine but... stock it is VERY tall. It is slightly taller then most motocross and other dirtbikes but can easily be lowered via the rear shock second hole that brings the seat from 38ish inches to about 35. I am a good 5"10 and even when lowered have a little issue because the inseam of most riding pants does not come up high enough (the crotch is too low) but riding with most jeans are ok.

Hawk might be a good choice for her. Seat height is at least 3 inches lower and handlebars are closer, slightly narrower. What is her height/inseam?
Lifan Expect 200 is another candidate. These are dual sports bikes rather than enduros. Expect has EFI, which means no carb jetting, but they do run lean. I am partial to carbs since they are simple and easy to tune, but there are lots of happy Expect owners out there.

I appreciate the replies. I just got my Templar X delivered yesterday. Once it's built I can get a better idea of what the wife needs. So far I'm impressed with the spec on this bike. It's surprisingly burly. The welds are pretty darn good (I'm still unpacking it though).

Wife is 5'6", almost no off-road experience but commutes on a Vespa 150cc w/about 12hp. I don't think a power increase will be an issue for her as much as being able to not feel too tall.

The RPS Magician 250 has a low seat height of 32"

Also the Venom Thunder 125 which is pretty peppy for a 125.

I'm in almost the same situation. My wife took the BRC and got her motorcycle license last summer. She had been riding around a Honda scooter and likes it and has expressed interest in trail riding with me. I want to get her something she can lift and lower standover and set height. I like the Storm 150 because of the lights and speedometer but it's too tall and now out of stock. There is a 125 hawk that looks like it might work but I'm concerned about the power.

Check into the Bashan Storm as well. The Hawk, the Storm are both contenders. You can shim the fork tubes up in the clamps to drop the seat height another inch. I have a Storm, and it is a nice bike.

Good looking out. The Bashan Storm wasn't on my radar. I'll check it out.
