Chinese dual sports can be bough dirt cheap even with hundreds in mods on them. I have a couple for sale now that come with a lot of upgrades and accessories..
I've seen them stay listed months dirt cheap with mods, and from my own experience on Craigslist and Facebook markets people either want a bigger engine or a popular make or want to pay less than $500.00.
It's entirely different from Chinese 150cc scooter market for some reason. I can sale one of those in a week for at least $800.00 stock. I think people put "moped" tags from a 50cc on them and ride them illegally.
I guess people with an endorsement and money prefer something they can ride on highways or that they can park at a biker hangout without some cheap-bike stigma.. I kind of get some of that I'd want at least one dual-sport I can actually take long distances without navigating slow back roads; I've had at least one XL or XR 500 or 650 since I got my license and I can easily use an interstate to get somewhere fast..
