Well, the starter-motor will probably make it for a while. Increasing voltage is a common way to increase torque - usually for a limited time.
In many cases it will be better for a motor to run on higher voltage for a few seconds then to struggle on max torque and low/no speed for 30 seconds.
If you are really interested in "what things are built for" you should not install a battery with a lot more CCA then your ordinary battery. Your wiring and starter are not designed for it and you might have enough current available to fry it.
Remember that unlike most other electrical motors the starter have no protection (overcurrent, overload, temperature, etc).
But again; I would not have done this on a standard bike. This comment was to tell that some people use 2 batteries in series without issues.
