tri boy

Right, so kanny's mighty Volty is up for sale now. (I havn't listed here, or on TM, as I am a lazy buggar, and it should sell at the shop easy enough any way).
Kanny is really enjoying her Bandit600, but still will want to socialise with you hairy arsed ruffians for some strange reason. Which means tri boy will need to locate a suitable steed for her to continue light adventure rides, and one that I can use/abuse on rides that might be a bit much for her. ie 42traverse. Fishers etc.
The scrambler is staying in the fleet for ever, as it is way betterererer than anything you lot ride, and gives me a great reason to nanna along at the back.
"Too heavy, too pretty to bash up, too bloody heavy, not enough suspension travel, too freaking bloody heavy, poor bar/peg/seat position for standing up, way too freaking bloody heavy"
It will be my steed on the light rides, while kanny rides her adv bike.
Now, what will suit kanny?
She has tasted power via the 600, so smaller adv bikes are out.
Lecky start is a must for her, and the ability to lower it via linkages easily to suit her, but a quick swap back to full height when I want to flog it.
Built to take the knocks, and reliable as a Golden Retriever.
See where this is heading?
My god, I think I may have to consider buying............
a freaking DR650.
Please give me other options, as Crisis is gunna give me so much stick if he see's me ride up, wobble around on, crash to the ground on Japans most boringly sensible adv bike.
Help Me Please
It will receive suitable mods whatever it is. seat, suspension, etc.
Actually, if I sneak into Ducatijim's cow shed, and pinch his modded Dr, then I can save money better allocated to beer, and, err, beer.:banana:
Oh, and before you lot say, "get ya scrawny arse on a KTM690/Aprillia 550 etc. Remember, this is kanny's bike. Can't have the missus owning a beast that she can deny me the rights to ride. Plus, I'm a cheap prick, and the dollars won't stretch that far till this stoopid world economy stops beating up on my savings funds.
