What xpro bike is best?

jonrush · Yesterday, 03:43 PM

Im looking for a 250 x pro street legal dirt bike. Will be doing mostly street riding. Currently considering the hawk, titan, and Templar. Was wondering if the performance output differences were really noticeable and worth the price differences. The titan max weight also says 176 lbs compared to the others well over 300 so I was wondering if that was wrong. Also, I might consider having a passenger occasionally so I was wondering if these all already have passenger foot pegs or not. Thanks

I ended up going with the Templar X 6 speed a few months ago. I was wanting something that would do pavement for 70+ miles and then hit service/logging roads. It comes with the passenger foot pegs and rear fender rack and I added pannier racks, 80/20 tires, 40t rear sprock and a windscreen. Stock carb is a little finicky on cold starts but once warmed up it does fine. I've never owned or operated any of the others so can't speak on whether I made the right choice or not. Loving it so far though.

.. another note. From browsing these forums, it seems to be a dice roll on grief factor getting tags. When you order be sure to state you want the MCO as 'Motorcycle' not 'Off Road'. In Tennessee I had no problems.

I have the Storm DLX150 and love it, but I wanted a lightweight micro dual sport and not a 250 (I already have a 250). In many states, as long as your MCO says "motorcycle", you can get it registered for the road. However, you will have to check with your state's requirements at the DMV website. However, what I found to be more helpful is to go to a motorcycle dealership and ask them what your state's DMV specifically requires to get a bike registered for the road. They are usually pretty helpful with stuff like this as they have to do inspections on motorcycles every day.

I bought the Hawk 250 last summer. I love it, but I'm already saving up for a Templar. Templar has quite a few things going for it over the Hawk. It's an actual 250 (249.5 or something), it already has LED lights and digital dash, USD forks, nicer brakes. I hear it's tight to work on, like getting the carb in and out, but I'll deal with that.

Do you know if the regular Templar, not x, has passenger foot pegs?
