It would be "Ich habe die Geschwindigkeit dieser Technologie gern", but it's indeed very inappropriate. Gern haben has a strong "emotional flavor" that doesn't go well with an abstract term like the speed of a technology. It's used in situations like "I like you", "I like my teddy bear" or similar .
