Early next year, depending the moola, 
I want to take my wife with to Angola or Northen Moz. Thing is this, she can ride the Dakar quite okay'ies but she can't pic it up by her self, and that's one BIG MUST on trips like these.
Next down on the line is DRZ400, excellent obvious choice, it's got carrying ability and is light enough for her. But......is there an obvious alternative to the DRZ I am missing, like a 450EXC or Husky/Yamma/CRF? And no nothing wrong with the DRZ, just looking at all the other possibilities.
I don't want to get anything smaller as I have no confidence in their ability and power to still run comfortably on soft river bed sand with all the stuff on the back plus a rider, and then at least still do maybe a 100km/h-120km/h cruising speed in places.
