Big Boy TSR250 vs Puzey STX 200 Trail

Hello,

Can anyone tell me anything about the Big Boy TSR250 or the Puzey STX 200 Trail?

I'm a missionary in Lesotho looking for a dual sport, street legal motorcycle. My budget is limited to the price range of these two bikes unless I buy something used. I hear the quality of the Chinese bikes is improving and I'm thinking it's worth a risk after reading this forum, etc. I'm a shade-tree mechanic used to keeping worn-out vehicles on the road, so I'm not afraid of turning a wrench.

I'm especially interested in reliability, availability of parts, etc. Also, who makes the motors. I've seen videos, etc. on the internet of a guy who has put quite a few kilometers on a TSR 250, and I like their 3 year warranty.

I'm also open to other recommendations. I'm looking for a dual sport and 200cc+.

Thank you.
