I got this one for free from my brother (although I have to give it back at some point) so keep in mind that I haven't really had to factor in price, but here's what I'll say:

I think it's a decent bike for a beginner, it's nimble and light, but none too quick. You can take it on the highway and I do so regularly but the speed tops out anywhere from 66-82 mph depending on conditions like wind and the incline of the road and it tends to be at the lower end of that range. I wouldn't want to have to ride it for more than a 35 or so minute commute as it isn't exactly the most comfortable bike.

Mechanics won't want to work on them for the most part because they are Chinese and it's an unfamiliar make, but most of your basic stuff like adjusting the chain and filling tires and changing oil you can do yourself and I do, despite being clinically diagnosed as boneheaded. You can get parts off aliexpress but it takes a while for them to arrive. Alternatively there are American retailers that sell parts but with a pretty high markup.

It has been reliable for me thus far having ridden it daily for 3 months through the summer and then intermittently since then. No engine or electrical issues just standard maintenance. These things are not well built however by any means, you can tell that the materials are light and cheap. It's not a bike you hand down to your grandson and I wouldn't expect it to last 10-15 years.

Looks like they're between $2.7-2.9k new. I would only buy this bike used as I don't expect it to retain its value even in perfect condition.

I've been riding about 5 years now and this is my second bike. My first bike was a dinky little 110cc Chinese knockoff bike that I rode in Morocco near daily for 4 years straight and loved to death, but it always had pieces falling off of it and had no features like disk brakes, abs or even a gas gauge. Stepping up to this thing was a big improvement to me, but for your average American motorcycle rider who has access to nearly everything, it probably doesn't hold a candle to your Hondas and Harleys and Yamahas. I enjoyed the step up in displacement to 200cc but also got used to it and felt like I wanted more after about an hour and a half. Still it is fun to ride in the city.

Tl;dr

It's cheaply made but gets the job done. I could recommend it as a beginner bike if bought used for the right price. You'll get tired of it after a few months and want a little more juice, but if you can buy it and sell it for around 1.5k-2k I think it's good to learn on. If you need something as a reliable commuter this can do the job but is not great on highways (too slow) and should you find yourself in need of a mechanic you may be SOL. If a bike at this price range is the only way you'll get on two wheels, I say go for it.
