I don't know how long that is. However once the engine is broken in, you can ride it for about 30 minutes straight @ max speed without doing it damage, after that I don't know.

30 minutes at max speed? You must like the vibrations, or you have a very rare balanced engine.

I have ridden several trips of over 50 miles and a couple that were at least 70 (use all the gas, and had to re-fill) with no problems.

I wouldn't run a china bike wide open for a long period just because the vibrations will make you fall off or at least something may come loose.

This exactly.

However, I have no huge problem with vibrations. I'm just using the seat that came with my bike + some KTM throttle grips.

Some bikes vibrate so bad at WOT that your nuts may vibrate loose and fall off.

I'd say use loctite... but... um... DOB
