After lurking around this and other chinese bike forums, I'm still a little cloudy as to what dual sport is right for me. I apologize in advance for what maybe a common type thread in this community.

I'm looking for a dual sport that I can putt around town and also take on some light camping adventures that would include dirt roads/trails, gravel, rain and 20 lbs of equipment. I'm 6'3" 180 lbs (tall and lean) so I know not every Chinese bike will be for me. The Lifan 200 I had fit me okay. For the price I couldn't complain. WOuld I have liked it a little higher? Yes, but again it was great for the price. So keeping the price under $1700, what is the "best" Chinese bike out there, for me? Suggestions?

There's a lot of names out there and I can't seem to lock down something I can "easily" find here in the states that will fit my price point, riding style and body. Suggestions?

Thanks.
