  • Real trail test ride of the Amazon dirt bike Templar 250 sold by Xpro the makers of many different Chinese pit bikes like the Storm 150 DLX. This Templar offers decent quality for the bargain cost of $1399 total with shipping was $1700 to my door. This is a Dual sport motorcycle meaning I got a plate to ride on the street as well as offroad.

    Thanks for the honest review, Mike! Truth is you have more riding under your belt than 99% of the yahoos who leave dumb comments. 35 years is no joke and gives you good honest perspective. Thanks for taking the time to share!

    I continue to enjoy your videos. I've been out on the trails on my Templar 250 base model now and I like it. For what it is, it would be hard to expect more. I really like the size and layout of the bike and have no trouble at 6' tall. I think your review is spot on.

  • @johnp1966
    @johnp1966 Pล™ed 29 dny +2

    The thing I like about your reviews of the china bikes is that you're actually using them, not just blasting across a field and saying how good/bad it is.

  • @ralph324
    @ralph324 Pล™ed 27 dny +4

    I appreciate that these bikes make it cheaper and easier for more people to get out on the trails and enjoy the sport. Sure, maybe they're not right for everyone - but they're right for lots of folks, whether it's a long-term bike, or just a stepping stone to something else. Plus the more people that buy them, the better the quality continues to get.

    @Swamp-Fox Pล™ed 29 dny +5

    Like it or not, those Chinese bikes are a lot of value for the money. At those prices, you can afford upgrades and still come out ahead. I am a 4 stroke fan myself!

    After your first vid I bought a Templar 250 X and after 350 miles it is getting smoother in the shifting, suspension, engine is more powerful, and I am very pleased so far. Also- the Honda CRF125F I was going to buy for 3x the price is.... wait for it-
    .....made in China.

    • @Mikefestiva
      @Mikefestiva  Pล™ed 28 dny +1

    I have the 300cc version of that engine in my Hawk 250. The transmission โ€œnotchinessโ€ will ease up after a few hundred miles. Initial break in is at 500 miles, then at @ 1000 miles, that engine will start to really sing!

    Seems like a great scoot! Perfect buddy bike. Sorry youโ€™re catching hate. I bleed orange, but 12-14k for a new KTM (thatโ€™s also now made in China) is silly. Hopefully this bikes price gets more people on trail, which is the most important thing at the end of the day. Thanks for the vid.

  • @MichaelWhite-cx4ho
    @MichaelWhite-cx4ho Pล™ed 29 dny +1

    Great weight and price comparisons versus some of the other 150, 200, etc small dual sports out there. Dealers were marking up the XT250 to over $7,000 a couple of years back. Crazy! Ended up paying huge dealer markup on an XR150L for my daughter mostly for brand name for her sake, but I would have been just as happy with a Templar. BTW, the Templar X just came back in stock today at X-Pro!

    Thank you Mike for looking at these bikes for what they are. I have name brand bikes for singletrack and trials riding and find myself grabbing the little Templar X quite often as it just takes me back to riding as a kid on old Honda XR's where you could override the bike at will. It was pure fun. Mine is a year old now with zero failures and while that isn't Honda territory it's a good start.

    China bikes are great if people keep expectations real. Of course itโ€™s not as good but itโ€™s really cheap. I have a Chinese atv that 3 boys learned on with 10yrs of WOT and Iโ€™ve had to replace the front hubs which were $15 on Amazon. Still starts right up and doesnโ€™t smoke

      Been thinking of selling my kx250 smoker and getting a klx300 or just adding a tm35 and keeping the kx. Iโ€™ve always liked the wheel base of the kdx and the klx is basically the same except the weight factor. Wish they made a air cooled 400cc Chinese 4 stroke.

    Hi Mike, another great video! I'm having a great cup of coffee that I brewed with my Chinese made Hydroflask insulated French press. I buy non Chinese as much as possible but that Hydroflask press is about a third of the cost of a US made one, it's just reality.
    As far as 2 stroke vs. 4 stroke, my Dad always steered us to the 4 strokers for reliability and longevity.

  • @chrisescue6555
    @chrisescue6555 Pล™ed 27 dny +2

    These Chinese motors are great nowadays, from what I've heard alot of them just take outdated honda/kawi/ etc blueprints and make carbon copies. Only thing that worries me is electrics and bearings and such but at that price point it's no deal breaker. Totally agree with your 2 stroke opinion too, they just need constant pampering, an air cooled 4 stroke might not be as much fun as a snappy smoker but might end up on a crf250f in the future just for the simplicity...

    this is just what I'm looking for price wise. I've been looking at the Kawi 450 type but it is way more than I need to spend on something I would only use for just putting around the forest on, not racing, just sight seeing. I hope they have larger models for taller people.

    These look like they might be a decent affordable spare/buddy bike. I'm keeping my 2014 Husaberg Fe501, which is just a husky fe501, with PDS, instead of linkage. Plus it's the last Husaberg, everything past 2014, switched to husqvarna.

    I really can't understand haters.. I mean back in the 60โ€™s- and 70โ€™s, JAPANESE bikes were considered throwaway bikes by large groups of riders, especially because they were siginifigantly cheaper than American or Euro bikes at the time!
    Of course time proved that stereotype wrong..
    I get guys not wanting to "fund" Communist China, but that train of logic left the station long ago..

    I had an earlier model a Roketa 200 dual sport 07' model, it was very durable and never let me down. Only problem is you have to know how to work on bikes and do everything yourself. Also getting parts can be a chore, specially after you owned it for a few years. I couldn't get the plastics for mine anymore or the air filter so I had to start modding it to make stuff work. All the Name brand bike dealers wont touch them either if you need work done, that has been my experience with mine. Getting it registered was a bit tricky and make sure you get the MCO with it or your screwed getting it licenced. Thats Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin for those that don't know. Welds were a bit rough and bearings, seals, but mine was a Honda clone so some of the Honda parts worked. Can't beat the price though, and they seem to be getting better quality. ๐Ÿ‘

    really tempting compared to the klx 300 or honda 300 dualsport. the honda is even hard to find at my local dealerships. i was in the market for a quad in 2021 and my buddy told me about this brand CFMOTO. a chinese company that was thousands of dollars less than the competition. so i went for it and got the 1000cc overland quad. overall i am very impressed with the build quality. sure, the suspension isnt as plush as a polaris but it has plenty of power and we will see how it holds up over the years. i was always skeptical about chinese powersports because they were pretty junky. but they have definitely stepped their game up.

    Looks like fun. Looks like a good solution for an extra bike for spouses, or friends for that price. Curious if it has any emissions stickers, stamps on the pipe, or VIN numbers to allow registration as is needed in most of the States for riding on public lands.
    A lot of the hate comes from what has traditionally come from China, terrible welds, bad metals, poor assembly. It really comes down to QA and QC. There usually isnt any for most of those companies. Ive been to many Chinese factories doing inspections and have seen this a lot first hand.
    Heck, Im sure a lot of the Japanese or even European bikes are actually 95% made in China, but if you are on them to make it right, its just fine. Just cause it says made or assembled in Taiwan, Japan, etc that doesnt mean much. Ive seen them walk products on the back of a bike and import them from different countries just to say its made or assembled there.

    Hey mike i have a couple of questions of the bike that i couldnt seem to find online, im planning on buying this bike and potentially converting it into a supermoto. I couldnt find any information about what the hubs seems to support, or much about the rims and tires about the bike. I was wondering if it was possible if you could share the width of the front and rear tires, and possible clearance issues i could run into with putting thicker street tires, as well as what the front hub of the wheel is. Love the videos about this bike, and seems awesome, cant wait to get my own soon ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก

      For the rear tire if you put anything wider then what the bike has youโ€™re gonna run into the problem with the tire rubbing the chain. I put a slightly bigger chain and it rubs the tire. lol probably because my tire isnโ€™t centered but whatever lol. As for the front Iโ€™m not sure, Iโ€™ve heard shinko 705โ€™s are great tires
