suzuki drz 400? i like the bike but am new to riding. i can handle a 400 but this bike just seems really tall for me. im 5 ft 9 in 185 lbs. could i ride this thing
 
The DRZ is a great bike, and it's really not too tall for you, but you just don't know it yet due to inexperience. Either learn to ride on something else, or get a set of lowering links from Norm Kouba.

Set your sag according to his instructions and slide the fork tubes up an inch. You will probably need a shorter side stand.

Once you have some experience on the bike, you may want to return it to stock height.
 
Its a perfect bike for you. Its really really cheap if you drop it (scratched plastics, who cares?) and they really are not overly power full. You can also buy a lowering kit and a lower seat for reasonably cheap. Its definitely not to much bike for you.
