The AKTs are re-badged Zongshen motorcycles. They manufacture over 1 million motorcycles a year. You can find the same bikes in almost every country in South America, just under a different badge name. Parts availability was one of the reasons we chose these bikes.
We bought 2 new AKT Adventour 250s (Known as the CSC RX3 in the US) and rode them from Colombia to Patagonia with no major issues over 20,000km. We sold one to another traveler who put another 20,000km.
Regarding parts availability, we never needed any but I did look around lots of major cities for a spare clutch lever and shifter and found that many places would have to order even basic parts. Your best bet would be to outfit your bikes and pick up any spares in Colombia before crossing the border. This goes for tires as well. A good 18 inch front 50/50 or dual sport tire proved very difficult to find. Cuzco, Lima, Santiago and large cities in Colombia would be your best bet for those.
