Hey man,
Honestly i think i know the kind of bike you're looking for.
I just bought one yesterday in fact (i live in Beijing so its a bit cheaper to register)
Anyway, its the Shineray 250 supermoto. (i can't find a direct link for it online, but its basically this https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?sp...7b&abbucket=18)
I bought through a friend who gets dealer prices, but its a cheap bike anyway. 1.pic.jpg2.pic.jpg3.pic.jpg4.pic.jpg
Here's a few pictures of the one i just bought (i didn't have any choice of colour because in fact someone ordered it before and didn't follow through, but still i htink it looks pretty good)
The one i bought is the 2016 model, they're still selling the 2015 model online so just be a bit careful.
It IS a chinese bike, but its Shineray, its the brand of bike that crazy carl (the guy that create this website) went trekking around china, they're heavily involved in motorcross... basically i woulnd't normally buy a chinese bike again, but this is the one exception.
There are a few things that you can see will go wrong...like indicators are likely to snap off... and if you replace the battery ...its a bit more difficult than some of the other bikes, .... but other than that, there's nothing wrong.. and in reality these are minor details.
The biggest thing is that it will put a smile on your face when you ride, and it did yesterday, so i bought it.
As for the drivers license, whats your situation? have you got your home countries license?
