Dual sport / dirt bike recommendations

Hi everyone,

I've been doing a bunch of reading around here and I've decided to take the plunge on a Chinabike. The question is which one.

My use will be mainly of road. I'd prefer lights and the signals so I can register it (I'm in Utah so I can register just about anything with lights) to make navigating between trails easier and so I can make the occasional run to the store but I'm not above a pure dirt bike if it's sufficiently better.

I've been borrowing a friend's bike so I have a bit of dirt experience as well as five years of so if street riding experience.

I know I want 21/18 front and rear wheels and the biggest frame possible (I'm 6' 2" ) and I'd prefer electric start.

So all of you experts out there, what would you recommend and which vendor would you reccomend? At a glance, I see the Nathan enfircer, the hawk, the stallion, and the Apollo agb36. I know the last one is dirt bike only but I also see longer travel suspension and more power via a higher compression ratio.

So, thoughts? Recomendations? Warnings?

Thanks in advance for your replies!
