My second hand one cost about 300 euros with all the taxes.
Decent second hand ones are below 500 euros. Not sure about the new one pricing.
If there's no higher taxes, or licence requirements for over 50 cc in your country, I'd recommend a 125 cc four stroke. Use less fuel and have a higher top end speed.
