I'm 6'4" tall, mostly leg and I feel like a dog trying to hump a tennis ball on the DRZ even with the handlebars raised. Same with quad, handlebars are so low.

Which one of those big four strokes suits a full sized human? I never sit down.

I've got a KLX 650 and it would probably suit you with a bar raiser installed - can be had for around 3k secondhand occasionally - single thumper strong torque could be dual purpose easily if that's your bag
If you stand a lot wide pegs are good
