Need help deciding if a Chinese dirt bike is for me

I am having trouble deciding what to get for my next bike and thought I would reach out for some help.

I ride dirt only with my wife and kids, they have a klx140l, klx110, and a kymco 150cc quad. I previously have had a couple of kdx's and a wr250f.

I am trying to find something low maintenance, preferably air cooled, and electric start. I have been leaning toward something like a crf230, but they are a little short for me at 6'6" 225lbs. I have considered xr250/400's, but really want electric start.

What are my chinese options? I am really intrigued with the Pitster xtr's, but was hoping to find something a little cheaper. What other chinese dirt bikes come with aluminum rims and decent suspension? Are there any good options under $2k?

Ended up picking up a 2003 ttr250 in great shape for $900 today so my search is over.

I was struggling to get my wife's attention; I sat down on the couch and looked comfortable. That did the trick!

My wife says I only have two faults. I don't listen and something else...

If at first you don't succeed, try doing it the way I told you to...

Not bad for 14 years old! Original owner and second owner were friends and both in their 40's/50's
