I have a DRZ. I have taken my girlfriend for short rides without problems. Plenty of power etc. My weight is 235 lbs, hers is 105lbs. The comfort of long rides two up may be a bit less than I want, but about 12 years ago I ran into a couple that had come all the way from argentina two up on a 250cc honda. You can do it, but I would consider something like the v-strom instead. The v-strom is about the same price, but more comfortable. BTW I love my DRZ, just not sure how comfortable it would be with 2 people. If you do get a DRZ, I recommend getting a manual cam chain tentioner for it. They had some failures in the auto one with the early bikes, but are supposed to have fixed it. I wouldn't want to find out in the middle of no where that my cct problem wasnt fixed.
