Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet.
She was not comfortable on an SV650, and a DRZ is going to be taller and feel more top heavy than any SV. I’m just sayin’ he should be prepared to sell the 400 and buy something else for her when the time comes.

It depends on what type of riding you plan on doing. To throw a 400 around on a single track trail all day is a lot of work. If you are hitting fire roads and dirt roads it would be perfect. Keep in mind that it is a 290lb. bike so it isn't as light as it feels if you get in trouble. I can't flat foot it at 5'9" but you can get a lower seat and if you need to you can lower the suspension. I just got used to it from my DR650 that I had in high school...either lean off one side or bounce back and fourth on my tip toes. It is an excellent dual purpose bike, it took me and a passenger up the canyon no problem and the next week I took rampart range road all the way from Woodland Park to Sedalia.

Here's the DRZ that I've been watching/wanting. If it weren't so far away.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. 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."
--Thomas Jefferson
I got corrected on the thumpertalk forums....I guess it is a crime to call a DRZ 400 a DR 400. For some reason the Z is important. But either way it kicks ass.
