I could put both feet flat on the ground with almost bent knees, and I don't have long legs. The Q was a good bit taller than the Suzuki. I thought the looks of the DR were fine, and I also liked the sound of it. It seemed kind of abused and some of the things he said didn't make sense. So I passed on that bike. I guess I can keep it in my mind if the KLR does not come through and I can't find anything else.

Indeed, the DR200SE has a very low seat height. I must be shorter than you, since I never felt cramped while seated on the DR200SE.

I encourage you to trust your feelings regarding this bike, and its seller. Please keep us updated regarding your test ride/inspection of the KLR650.
