Possible new dual sport

Hello,

I have been looking at China bikes for a couple of weeks. This would be my first motorcycle and I like the dual sports. I would mostly ride around the campground and on forest service roads. A couple of questions I have are:
1. Most of these bikes are carbureted and need to be rejetted. I am from Colorado and could ride anywhere from 5,000 ft to 10,000 feet. Would that elevation range be a problem?
2. Has the quality improved over the last few years? I saw some reviews on youtube about the newer Hawks and Brozz which make them seem almost as good as Jap bikes, then there are older reviews of the Hawk and Magician that say they are a lot of work. I don't mind tinkering with the bike, but I do not want to be a full time mechanic.
3. Any riders from Colorado? Are they hard to register in Colorado?
4. The bikes I am interested in are in the sub $2K range. I like the Hawk for the price, Hawk DLX for fuel injection, Brozz 250 Recon because it will mostly be off road bike, and Orion RXB 250 because it looks cool, and again mostly off road use.

Thanks

Greg
