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?

Buy a used quality bike. Work on it. They are super easy to work on and you can do most any repair in an afternoon. A 10 year old good bike is always going to be better than a new cheap bike, and often cheaper.
