    Re: Small(er) DS's

    Maybe an older XT350? I have one, seat is lowish, can handle reasonable trail riding, cheap. I may be selling mine soon...

    The only drawback: Kick only, although I have literally started mine in socks...
    Thanks, Jim

    I agree for sure but it is still a tall bike. The power is really not that bad for trails either.

    Have you looked at any TTR 250's?

    Could be. When you ride an XR650L, all bikes seem short. If I see a 230L at a decent price, I'll be tempted to get one.

The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

    I can see not lowering a bike with say a 33" seat height, taking into account suspension sag. Any of the bikes above that would need lowering links for her to touch down. A KLR250 is in the front running right now.

    TecknoJoe is selling an extremely clean WR250 for around $3600.
