The DRZ400, as you may be aware, is a dual sport bike...meaning it can be ridden offroad or on the road. With that being said, it wont perform on the trail as good as a trail bike and it wont perform on the street as good as a street bike. The bike weighs 295 pounds, which is quite alot for someone of your size if you plan on ridding woods as you stated. As discussed in many forums on this site, no one bike is good for all terrain or conditions. If you are going to ride mainly trails, go with a lighter bike that is easier to handle. You said that you would like a 2 stroke, but a 4 stroke would be a better option....keep in mind that 99% of 2 strokes are not street legal.
