Your bike was from the days when all Chinese bikes had identity crises! They ALL looked the same
One thing about your bike was the standard engine most dual-sports came with was a 200cc. However, the Hi-Bird was pretty much the first dual-sport that was above 200cc and was 22x cc (and labeled a '250). There was a batch of bikes back in 2006 or '07 imported by some retailer in Orange County, Cal. from Asiawing that were also called '250' but it seemed like it was just one container load, and those bikes were all sold. Very unknown bike, and we wouldn't see bikes above 200cc until the Hi-Birds were released.
On another side note--Asiawing is still around and producing some great bikes--they OEM for SSR (the full-size 250 and 450 off-road bikes) as well as Christini's 450cc 2-wheel drive dual-sport.
