I'm guessing you're not from the states....
I'd say put some street slicks on it, take off the air box lid, Pipe it, jet it, and let 'er rip.

If you want more top end speed either change your gearing (ideal solution) or go with an aftermarket cdi box so you're rev limit is raised. But you run the risk of damaging the motor by doing that. The adverse affect of changing gearing is you will loose some low end punch also.
