Complete motorcycle noob from the PNW

Hello from Washington. Currently live near an ORV park, and near several forestry, logging and state park roads. Never been into motorcycles. My older brother, growing up got enough injuries from stunt riding that I never got the opportunity. I’m in my 50s. Decent in mechanical aptitude.

Looking at obtaining a decent bike for trails and dirt roads. Need something ok for a beginning rider. Really wanted to get an old Honda CT90 as my ideal ride, but the folks up in this area find fused frames to be of high value. But my searching lead me to Chinese clone motors and the full Chinese bikes.

After months of looking stuff up online it seems I could find a decent used bike without putting out too much cash and parts seem inexpensive enough thatI shouldn’t get too far over my head in maintaining a decent bike.

Looking for suggestions on where to start.
