Two awesome choices!
I have a DRZ400s for communiting.
Welcome.
Aren't those lil' bikes something?! It is SO darn fun in the city!! Seems like fun like that should be illegal! ...but alas sometimes the fun being had has
questionable legal legitmacy...
Definitely a different experience from the monster but I tend to prefer it for the city/commuting. For one I'm not wearing down my monster with the grind of a shortish inner city commute. My air cooled monster would just be done warming up by the end of my 25 minute which bothered me more than running the same commute on the DRZ. The light weight and super quick steering make the DRZ such a fun city bike, while the monster to me feels more at home on a nice twisty or a two lane highway...
