As far as a $2k machine, check out the Orion RXB 250L. Probably the best value and even uses an actual 249cc engine (vs. the Pitster and Kayo 230cc engines). Personally, this is the bike I would get out of the higher-end ones you mentioned in your first post above, and others mentioned. https://www.orionpowersports.com/ori...embled-tested/ The NC250 is Honda-ish based. Most every engine is a Honda-ish or cloned engine. There happens to be one Suzuki-clone, the SSR XF250 dual-sport, which uses a clone of the Suzuki TU250 engine but except has a carb vs. the TU's fuel-injection. Member dh owns one and is our resident expert on the beast. He commutes on his a few times a week from the so-called 'inland empire' outside Los Angeles to downtown Los Angeles (one of two Chinese dual-sports CARB certified for California) a distance of 70 or so miles each way. Their MSRP is around $3200, and might be worth look as well.
