Help on which moto to buy!

[olesoncs]

Hi guys. I am a U.S. Citizen living in Honduras teaching at a bilingual high school. I am looking to buy a motorcycle here very soon and I need some help. I'm not sure what to buy, partially because I cannot find information on the motorcycles down here! I will give you a few examples:

The four motorcycles I am looking at are:
XTZ Yamaha 125
XM Genesis 200
Splorer Shineray 200
GXT Genesis 200

I cannot find information on any of them, I have no idea about specs of any sort besides the cc's of each bike. I have the prices they would sell them to me for, but I do not know if these are good prices either. I will post below in order the prices:
50,231.00 Lempira = $2,392.00 USD
29,672.00 Lempira = $1,412.99 USD
30,740.00 Lempira = $1,463.84 USD
37,619.00 Lempira = $1,791.42 USD

As you all know, cheaper isn't necessarily better. I am looking to take this thing up a mountain every day to work, and eventually my girlfriend will be riding on the back of it when I get used to the mountain roads. I will also be reselling it in about 6 months, which will allow me to hopefully only lose a few hundred dollars in resale value depending on who I sell it to. Please let me know and thanks for welcoming me to the community!

If I could find one I would say, but here I can't find anything since I live in a smaller town. On top of that, the only Masesa dealer here won't sell to me since I don't have residency. I'm still waiting on the government for that.

I wish it were different, otherwise I would have bought a Pulsar 200 back in October.

The Yamaha would probably have the best resale value. However, the XM Genesis 200 is about $1k less, and it would have a more powerful engine, for 2-up riding. Make sure you are mechanically inclined if you get a Chinese bike (no, you don't have to be an expert by any means, but feel confident enough). You will get good advice on repairs/maintenance here on mychinamoto (more worldwide members) and on another site, chinariders.net (more N. American based members).

The advantage is how many Chinese bikes are down there, meaning repair shops are plentiful if you are not confident mechanically, and parts will be easy to come by.
