riding max speed for long periods of time

how badly does it wear on the bike to top it out for extended periods of time? i took it to the interstate the other day and was pushing 70 and the bike just sounded like it was in pain lol. i only rode a 3 mile stretch to start getting the feel of going that speed. i'm just wondering if its normal to ride such high rpms and if it shortens the life of the bike or causes less mpg.
