2022 Bashan Storm DB-08-250 is available for about $1700 plus shipping. Comfortable seat height. If a bit tall you can drop the forks by an inch or so. But the original tires are 17 rear, 19 front and the seat has a lowered section.
I replaced the tires with knobbies. It comes with dual sport tires. But also comes with inverted front forks which are much tougher than the standard forks that come on the Expect. And instead of a read drum brake, it has a rear disk brake, and a steel framed four point mounted luggage rack.

Should be fine for you. If you must have EFI, Storm does not have it. But the carb is good, and easy to rejet. Also a 229cc counterbalanced engine (Zongshen 167FMM). Lot's of help on youtube and here for things like rejetting.

Here is my Storm:
