i asked that same question on here yesterday. mate, i feel exactly the same but... what ive been told, just wait till youve been on the road for a while (assuming you havnt) and then youll feel really comfortable... and remember to loosen yourself up. :)

The tyre's are capable of up to 120mph (the one's i have after market one's) and they are a bit thin but fell fine apart from when it is very windy!

I am really quite small and light but i feel fine on my DT at 75. I got Semi offroad tyres only loss grip in rain and snow, but I think its fun when the back steps out anyway lol. do some off roading get use to the bike and it's grip and getting more confidence

I see your point there m8

I find all tyres that are better suited for dirt feel a little uneasy on the road I dont do any high speeds or tight turns with them on but if you take your bike on the dirt alot they are worth it

Nah mate it's fine. Doing like 50+ round a bend my skinny front tyre bobs up and down which is scarey but amusing. On straights absolutely fine. All the way to 80+ mph.
