Hi All,
Hope you're all well.... Jeez, It's been a while since I last posted on here.
Anyway, to the point. I'm out in Botswana, doing some bush flying in the Okavango Delta and was looking at getting a bike, coz i've finally got my work permits through and can now be paid! I've been keeping an eye out here, but unfortunately, there aren't a lot of things available in the way of mainstream bikes. There is a Yamaha dealership here, but the prices for the dirt bikes there are RIDICULOUSLY outside of my budget... But i have come across something interesting, and bang on the budget.
Just gonna use the Botswana Pula, coz it's easier that way (conversion of about 1NZD - 6.5 BWP).
Brand New Yamaha YZ 250 = ~60 000 BWP
I've found:
Brand New Puzey STX 200 = 11 000 - 17 000 BWP (11 if it's still on special)
Here's a link with the bike specs and as much info as i could find:

They have a motard option as well, but that's more for later.
Does anyone know about this make? They have a Mikuni Carb'd engine.... So, japanese.... I'm thinking that'd a bit comforting rather than a chinese rip-off generic? I can't seem to find much else about the bike. That, and internet here can be a bit "iffy".
I appreciate any help.
Regards,
Zim
