Lowered DRZ400 in UK

[Fern]

Hi

I am trying to choose a suitable bike for my New Zealand to UK trip next year, and a DRZ 400 fits the bill so far, and is on my quite possibly maybe list of potential bikes.

I've spoken to a few local Suzuki dealers and they've stopped selling the bike, so can't test ride it there. Is there anyone kind enough to let me have a quick ride to see if I like the bike? Or does anyone know any off road schools/hire places that have any??

I'm 5'5, my legs are not that short, but I reckon the standard set up would be far to high for me, but I've had a good snoop around the forum, and seen how others have lowered it.

Thanking you

Fern

We went looking for a lowerd DRZ type bike for our RTW trip, which we aim to start in 2013.

My wife is 5'3" with short legs. In the end we are looking to get 2 CCM SR40, They use the DRZ engine and are on 820cm seat height.

They also look goregous but cost £££ and don't come up second hand very often. Also CCM are currently working on a milatry contract son new ones from CCM won't ba available until april.

Also look at yamaha WR 250 similar power to DRZ but feul injected
