    Byron go for the DR650 or 400. Either will be good. I don't know your off road plans but the 450 will be easier in the dirt, the 650 will still be good, but it will eat any longer distance stuff.
    Bash plate is mandatory in my experience. Vince is the man in the know for these bikes for sure.

    HK1837 your size changes a few things... most dirt/trail bikes are sprung for a 75kg , 5'5 - 6ft rider,
    anything over 95kgs well most likely need a suspension upgrade.

    if ur leaning towards Suzuki ;

    DR650se will pull your weight a lot better especially on the open road... but has a lower seat height.

    DRZ400e will suit your height better (after fitting bar risers)... but has less torque for pulling weight.



    get ur learners license - test ride - then buy the bike you like.
