I'm a she just for the heads up. :P
Other than that, Yamahas are great bikes. That's what I ride offroad at the moment. I think the fz6 is a little bigger than what I'm looking for but I haven't seen on in person in a while so I'll have to check it out.
Kinsaj, the reason I wouldn't get a dual sport is that since they compromise to give you both uses the bikes don't usually excell at either. They ride like big dirtbikes and handle like them. And alot of them are actually really big, and tall, and have a high center of gravity. Which would be fine if I wasn't so short. But other than that I wouldn't be able to make it work well for the street since I would want to be able to use it off road (so no street specific tires or suspension set up or any of that) and the ones I've riden wouldn't be very comfortable for a long ride which is mostly what I'll be using it for. I mean, they could be made to work but it'd probably cost me a good deal of money and time (since I'd do alot of the work myself..cause I can)
