The Orion you showed us was available in Canada as a Gio, and it had a pushrod CG223 engine. The later version has an OHC engine (that is also likely 223), and is available with small wheels (19 inch and 1 inch) or large wheels (21 inch and 18 inch). The OHC motor is good for another 1 or 2 horsepower. It comes with a free-flowing exhaust and a 30mm Mikuni carb, but the air filter is very poor.

The Bull is definitely an OHC engine, and is also likely to be 223cc. Both bikes are likely to have excellent inverted forks, and they both have wide footpegs and decent braking. You'll have the usual trouble with poor quality bolts, chain and bushings.
