Recommendations for new motorcycle? (mander.xyz)

Hi all, I have been lurking for some time here, but the time is coming for me to make a move and buy my own first motorcycle.

I am really drawn to the esthetics of the Royal Enfield 350 meteor, but it's quite a bit above my budget, which is around 11,000,000 COP (2500 EUR).

I am wondering if you have any tips for motorcycles that look somewhat similar (classic design) but are cheaper (probably because of lower cc)?

The Bajaj 150X might be an option. But maybe you have other/ better ideas?

Colombia? Not sure what bikes you have on offer there. I rode a Suzuki GN250 for a few years and would recommend. The Honda CB or CD 250s as well. Yamaha SR400. Most UJMs are solid bikes, but depends on what you can get and if you're looking for new or used.

My first thought is an pre 2016 Rebel 250. Imo good looking bikes, a huge swath of replacement parts and enough mods that you can make it your own.
