Thanks for the help.

I think you're just not giving it enough credit. I regularly hold between 65 and 75 on the standard 15t sprocket on straight roads. Once you get used to the engine screaming and vibrating like hell, you'll get to trust its stamina a bit more. Like others have said, these bikes are very sturdy, and with even a little bit of regular maintenance, they will hold out seemingly forever.
As a disclaimer, all GZ's are different, and some will not make a top end of over 65-70. A lot of the "speed" depends on load and wind resistance and maintenance regimen.
