The
DR650SE solves the too-tall-seat problem endemic to dual-sport
bikes by making its seat height adjustable. The lower setting
offers less suspension travel but works fine on paved roads, where
the bike will likely see most of its time anyway. A proven performer,
the DR650SE's price makes it tough to beat in this category. Seat
height: 33 inches (34.8 on the high setting).
