I think for a nice 200 class air cooled, 110kg would be more ideal. My Te250 is only 106kg dry, but then that's a race bike :p

The Shineray X2X seems like a nice bike but from what I understand it's based on the NX250, which is not a common bike in the US.
All of those bikes are good options. All of which have decent (for china) reviews. The Engines from the main 4 companies aren't usually a problem and should be expected to work day in day out if oiled properly. Spud rider for instance has put over 65,000 miles onto his Zongshen bike. That Jialing is for sale in Chengdu and the x2x also. Both can be seen in the same place.
