Wind wings and sun visors make a pretty big difference with the wind effect. At 70MPH, the wind is really not bad at all and with the revs at around 2000RPM, you can actually chat with your passenger.
EDIT -- I was also told once that the dual roll bars, with the fat padding on them, also cuts down the wind effect. I don't know whether that's true or not though. I guess it could be -- some late model roadsters have little wind blocks that come up behind the seats, kind of like that.
