If that's expensive you can get the Jianshe version:

I agree with ZMC888's comments. The Yamaha YBR125X (trail version) is a very practical bike for the local conditions, given how even the nicest roads in PRC can change given a little time and wear. The other bonus is that getting parts or servicing these types of bikes will be pretty painless and straight forward most of the time, not foregoing the TIC characteristics.
