You talk about the DRZ being too light. It has a dry weight of 317 lbs. The Husky TE630 has a dry weight of 348 lbs. The KTM 690 Enduro has a dry weight of 305.4 lbs.
They're all pretty close. The Husky is easy to lighten by swapping out the chunky stock exhaust.
I'm more concerned about power-to-weight of the DRZ not being so highway friendly. The Husky and KTM have a good +20 hp on the DRZ. But damn if the DRZ isn't just an inexpensive, bomb proof, easy to get support for, do-it-all bike.
I'd just hate to get one and not be happy with it.
