I'm 6'7 so the drz is like a 50cc when I sit on it. Xts are alot more grunty and even though they feel twice the weight they are much much faster. I've only used the drz for my 10 mile round trip commute to work and a couple of longer trips (30-40miles) which were a bit uncomfortable for me. The drz is a brilliant city bike and although I've not green laned it, thats what I bought it for, I can see it would be very good for that.
