How can I make my TBR7 as fast as possible?

I think folks need to keep something in mind when they are thinking about upping speed on many if not most Chinese bikes. While the drive trains may well be able with modification to drive these bikes to 70+, the rolling gear -- tires, wheels, suspension, brakes, chain -- are not, generally speaking, the best for that kind of speed. I have not examined every Chinese model sold in America and have ridden only three, but although after break-in and a new spark plug my DF250RTG will run at 73 on reasonably flat road the suspension begins to feel distinctly sketchy the more over 55 I go. Certainly, this can be addressed with money and time, and if you can afford both it can be a lot of fun, but the question then is -- shouldn't I have bought Japanese to begin with?
