I saw bikes for sale in the countries listed below in West Africa that were higher spec than the 50-225 cc Indian/Chinese imports that are abundant. I don't know about the prices, and I haven't visited Sierra Leone or Liberia.
In Senegal, there is Fara Moto. Check out their Facebook page. Note, the location on their Facebook page looks different to iOverlander.
In Côte d'Ivoire, there is CACOMIAF. Check out their website.
In Togo, there is KTM. Check out their website.
That's three stores I know of in West Africa, and there's probably more that I don't know. The choice in West Africa will be very slim. If there's flexibility in your plan, South Africa offers more choice.
There are benefits to buying a local (well, Chinese/Indian import) bike that is lower spec and smaller cc. Bikes, parts, and mechanics are everywhere, which is not the same for higher spec bikes. Much cheaper too!
