Where I live (Malaysia) I see tuned versions of that bike or similar (the kind of motorbike is historically best-loved by local riders), some of them (2-stroke overbored 125 cc versions) being clocked at 180 km/hour ... so I don't think (in fact, it is shown to me daily) that going more than 55 mph on such a bike is a major problem.
The Mad Ass, on the other hand, is a fun bike with incredibly cool design up to 90 km/h, I guess. I definitely would not think about going much faster with it ...

Highly-tuned scooter engines need more frequent oil changes and maintenance.
A friend once had one of those freak motors. Quicker than a V6 Genesis down the dragstrip. Needed a rebuild every few hundred running hours.
As a cost-saving daily driver, you don't want to be modifying and/or revving the hell out of these engines. They just won't last.

But definitely doing 80-90 on a daily basis is no issue.
