My friend Brian has the same bike you have. He has removed everything that makes it a S(E) except
for the battery and starter. He also weighs 200 lbs. I have gone through the suspenion...it took some
trial and error, but his bike is dialed in and out performs my bike
in every aspect except in the rocks.
I would say the whoops are where his bike really out performs my bike.
I know when you get any one of those other bikes you'll need to set it up for your riding type.
KDX is my choice for all around riding, hands down. Price to fun factor is high.
My last eight rides this year have been to the desert and I don't think this is where my
bike shines (KDX220). I think I would enjoy your DRZ more for this type of riding.
OH! The KDX seat will feel the most like your DRZ. The other bike's seats you mentioned will be harder.
Launching a DRZ a measured 51 feet to my meager 38 feet in the soft stuff. :bang:

He use to say the same things about his bike; " feels heavy, it S#$%ks in the woops, plows thru the turns. Now he loves his bike.
