Body 2
You cannot beat the value for the dollar.
100% recommend.
After shipping, taxes, registration, fees, etc... we're taking ~$2,000+ for a legit vehicle you can drive to work, friends house, girlyfriends house, and on the trails. cant beat that with a stick.
I Got the base model Xpro Templar 250cc, and I have to say I absolutely love it. Its an ideal 1st motorcycle for about a 1000 reasons. You left the lights/signal on when you parked it last and now the battery is dead? No worries, just kick start it. Your friend got a hole in their radiator on the trail and now they have limp back home and buy new crap? No worries, yours is air cooled. no radiator to even get a leak. ...etc. there are so many reasons this bike rocks.
The bike has 19HP but only weighs ~250lbs fully gassed and with oil. So it feels like a ~300+lb bike with 30HP. It feels real good, boi. Wheelies all day, ripping all day, Donuts all day.
Mine got about 65mpg stock condition (I'm 205lbs), so its great commuter motorcycle. Ride your motorcycle all Saturday for fun for about $5 in gas. that feels good.
Its an old school single cylinder, air cooled, naturally aspirated, dual ignition, AC, motorcycle with 11.8 inches of suspension travel and its street legal. That means its simple enough that any knucklehead can work on it when it breaks (all motorcycles break), but you can still take it to work in the morning, beat up a trail on the way home, and if there is an issue, likely turning a wrench will solve it.
Also, there is a MASSIVE online support system for this bike. People have fully documented every single nut and bolt and torq spec on the entire bike, and mapped a series of mod plans, if you're so inclined.
Cons: Chain it comes with is cheap and wont retain lube. Upgrade to a 520 Oring chain ~$45-$55. Doesn't come with bark busters Upgrade ~$25. Turn signals breakoff the moment they hit ground. they break like its their job Upgrade~$16 4xpack. Clutch lever kind of stiff/difficult to pull unless you legit lube the cable and keep it lubed. Front suspension is non-adjustable, rear suspension only adjustable for preload (but it feels good. I just like to adjust it). PE28 carb it comes with is 100% fine, but not easily cleaned or adjusted. New nibbi PE28 is only ~$65, and will really open this thing up and is easy to install/clean/adjust. The engine will fully accept a PE30 if you really want to really give it a few more HP. I did so, and was getting accidental wheelies and all that, but mpg dropped to low 50s so went back to a PE28. The seat feels like a piece of wood with a yoga mat stappled to it. Seat is secured with a single bolt + wedge system, which is safe but annoying to take seat off to access things. The stock battery sucks, seems to last about ~2 years so get your kickstart foot ready or head to O'Reilly's to upgrade for ~$30. Its got a 300 mile Break in period which is long and annoying, bike shakes like paint shaker when you first get it. smoothes right out tho after break in. Manual Recommends oil change before FIRST ENGINE START, then at 300miles, then at 1000 miles, then every 1000 miles from then onward which is annoying. but fine and cheap since only takes 1 $6 quart of motorcycle oil. small stock components like throttle assembly clamp are cast metal, so over tightening can result in breakage. luckily the parts that break due to this are *extremely cheap and xpro will also replace them free if you email.
Notes: wheels, tires, and misc parts all seem to be industry standard sizes and fitment, so the bike is extremely easy to upgrade/repair/mod etc. Universal parts fit it cleanly. Break rotars ARE proprietary so if you want bolt on new break rotors you need to order from xpro. but, universal break rotors will fit, its just that you will need to buy an additional adapter for the speedometer sensor which was integrated into the stock rotor. its a pain. just buy their stupid break rotor its fine and you only need one every 10+ thousand miles and its $40.
I have had mine 4+ years, crashed it close to 100 times, I ride it like it owes me money and cant pay, I paint it every year for fun, drive it to work, drive it deep woods like 50+ miles from any roads, 4500+ off road miles, modded the crap out of it, love it.
This is a fantastic value! 55 mph and very comfortable for a 5ā9ā 185 lb adult! Easy enough assembly and quality looks greatš
Great little machine for fun in the yard. Pull start is smooth and the engine purrs nicely. My kid loves every minute.
My Xpro Saipan purchased in 2022. Xpro in TX assembled and sent to me in MA with no issues very pleased. I did the typical break in and changed fluids. June 2026 just hit 10,000 miles! I found a good CVT belt and (unwisely) run then to 2000 miles but in a climate of MA and keeping the speed to 45-50 tops. A lot of trips are longer a 1.27gal tank away or 100 miles with little trips to the local stores here in the country side. Really has been a great purchase and with he 14" wheels at 50mph feels good.
Real stats I have seen. With an aftermarket louder exhaust and a racing CVT belt I have hit 60mph tops for 4 minutes on a flat smooth highway before the whine harmonics of the engine RPM told me to back off. I did put beads in the back tire the third year and it has made a world of difference in balancing the back tire when going over 45mph a shudder disappeared. I'd not recommend busy highways where max speed is above 55 yet on backroads this bike performs wonderfully typically handling corners and a pinch of acceleration (in experienced hands) with a grace around corners most cars are touching the breaks on.
Issues: I had a mechanics son change my back tire and he forgot to lock-tight the bolts on the muffler so it fell off just last year. Now finding parts is not easy and an after market header pipe solution keeps overheating and braking off. The after market exhaust even with a DB reducer is louder but the drop engine pressure that got me a few more mph and mpg. Yet this trade-off only at very high rev ended up with a small amount of evap oil in the air filter case. This was my fault I believe due to a partially kinked air line at the charcoal canister and top rpm not the bikes design fault. I also need a new headlight as the high beam LED is out.
Wonderful inexpensive way to have a bike that will handle traffic on secondary roads, go for a tank-away ~100 mile tour and handle responsively in commuter traffic. It is easy to ride and manage the weight when stopped or walking by this average sized (half the bike weight limit) healthy older male. XproUSA was great during the sale and delivery. The bike a real deal that still gets a biker wave from oncoming street riders. As a grocery getter the bag fits right between the seat and the front on the bag hook included. I've been looking for a few more horses or at electric and still this bike for me is a winner and I'd buy it again.
This has been a fun addition for weekend riding around our land. The seats feel secure, the brakes respond consistently, and the reverse gear makes parking much easier. We checked and tightened all the hardware before the first ride, and the kart has felt solid so far.
