I've got one of the 28 liter tanks and the motorcycle handles fine with the extra weight and without a noticeable decrease in top speed. My DRZ with 15/41 gears got around 45mpg touring around Canada but I was going over 65 on paved roads but spent most of my time on graveled roads. If I switch to 14/47 gears my mileage is about 10 mpg worse at high speeds, but the top speed is the same if not better. The DRZ isn't the most comfortable bike for long distances, but it does admirably considering, not to mention a blast once you are off the pavement. A
