The DR350 would probably be good. XR400 seat height is 36.6 inches that is higher that the klr650. The DR650 the seat height can be changed from 33 to 35 inches. I think the klr 650 with a lowering kit would be good or the dr650. Dr350 might be a little under powered on the highway.

Try to find an oil type that won't tie up the internet. Every motorcycle list I've ever been on is in need of this special oil. Most important feature is that it should be available. If you found 'availability' useful in your new girlfriend, you will find it useful in your new oil. Neither she nor the bike will ever know otherwise.

'em! I was gone for a few days so I don't know if this is news or not...but Mike Walburn is about to announce availability of a new custom shock that is an 11/2 inches lower than the stocker....I vote for the DR350SE '94 or later... Kurt

Love on the KLR 650 list.......I love it. I don't recall a romantic thread coming around since Dan discovered a girl, and went off to Mexico with her. Sounds like there's enough wisdom on the list regarding female pleasing, and well.........who am I to blow against the wind? My guess is a dualsport will be aquired that takes into account the dualsport riding future....... Congratulations....keep us posted on those romantic ride reports! Slide

The K&Ns I've seen looked the same, too easy to see light directly through them.

Yup, like in a foam filter, perhaps like the stock one. Mister_T
