I rarely, very rarely went on 70mph roads on DRZ, that is not what a bike like that is for - on B roads ( and there are plenty of those in Shropshire ) it handled like a dream and had an unburstable engine - I often wish I had kept it as well as getting SV I have now, but never been a bike collector, and the very high seat bothered me. The main problem on 70mph roads was really that it needed a 6th gear, i was not the only DRZ owner who kept trying to 'change up a gear ' when in 5th.
