Hey guys,

Thinking of buying a bike off of Taobao. It would actually be my first bike ever so I'm a little hesitant, having no experience and limited knowledge. Im hoping to use the bike for out of town riding (live in BJ) and potentially some bigger trips during 2014. Bikes Im likened to at the moment are dual-purpose Suzukis like the 200cc Djebel or the DRZ400. I've seen a few online here an there and if I have the money when time comes ofcouse Id go for the DRZ, BUT not sure I want to spend that much so the Djebel may be a better option.

My question is... if I were to purchase a Djebel for example, how hard is it to find parts in China? Any other riders own the bike? Reviews? For a bigger trip, would it be easier to buy a generic chinese bike as itd be easier to find parts along the way? Sort of wondering between better quality vs. parts availability since an older Djebel wouldn't exactly be a gem itself.

Appreciate any feedback, so thanks in advance.

Cheers
