I want to buy a cheap bike (probably Chinese) that I can use for learning the mechanics of motorcycles. I currently have a Zongshen RX3 and Ive started doing some basic maintenance on it myself, but I dont want to strip it down too much because if i mess something up, I'll have no way to go to work.

I'm planning a 6 month trip on the RX3 next spring and I need to be proficient enough to do my own repairs when the bike breaks down. I'm hoping that I can find another super cheap bike to learn mechanics on (less than 3,000 rmb).

You guys got any advice on bikes?
