A good question as it really just shouldn't happen except in calamity.
My RZ350 shot up when I reused a metal gasket. blowing head gasket will be biggest concern.

My current big bore RZ is a little marginal and has few km on it yet, it should have a fan if I had to do traffic but it was built to aim away from the city. I did get caught in roadworks as we made our way up a steep pass. As it got into the 80s I was eyeing up a safe place to park as it was quickly running upwards, but we started moving again and it dropped back down smartish.

90 was my imposed limit of safety for no real scientific reason, but it isn't a loosey goosey air cooled nail of the 1970s.
