I would suggest to contact a rep for the tire company you are running and ask them about the use of the MAX pressure as your regular running pressure.
Over inflation can do some strange things to tires including causing excessive wear down the middle of the tire especially on a profile that is flatter than the motorcycle tires. It also reduces the contact patch when they are over inflated even on a bike and can increase stopping distances and alter handling of the bike too.

Here's just one of the many articles to read about over inflation.
