Looked at cheap-o dirt bikes on Alibaba yesterday. More research is needed but there may be sub $1000 bikes? Not sure about shipping. Some vendors wanted to sell 5 or 10, which sounds like a race series more than an obstacle...
AliExpress is more oriented for single item purchases.
You can usually find some videos on youtube documenting this sort of stuff... for instance, there are a lot of cheap chinese carbon fiber bicycles and parts out there now. Some is ok, some is so bad it's unsafe.

I've bought a few little things off Aliexpress, haven't had any problems with it.
