Hello from China Mainland!!! (Lost in bike search)

[PrimoExplorer]

Hello everyone,

I am an expat living in China Mainland for several years. As I am currently based in this country, and as I am also a biker, (specially when I was in my hometown I had different 2 stroke bikes. )
I am now looking for a bike to enjoy some free time during weekends, holidays and plan some medium long trips around China.

Although China has new roads, once leaving the main routes, the countryside has a lot of broken and coutryside roads, plus a lot of land without no asphalt road, due to these facts, I think I am going to consider get a dual sport dirt bike or some trail adventure bike.

I saw there are some very cheap chinese models (offering 250cc 4t, 1 yr engine warranty, and 3 months in rest of parts) about 1200 USD.

And others with brand: Aprilia Terra 150 4T Adventure, Zhongshen RX3, no more.

and other models bmw, honda, most imported, with too expensive price. ( Almost double than the price in the west)


If possible, I hope to get some ideas here...

Thank you!!
