Is it me or is it the bike ??

I had a bit of an experiment last night on the way to the club meet.Kept the bike in 4th, (5 gears) at about 3500 rpm,70 mph smooth as you like,with more to go,clicked into 5th,keeping the same rpm,bike seems to top out at about 70 - 75.Whack the throttle open,85 -95,is as far as i could safely take it,but at that speed the throttle was only half open so there will be more,no problem.
I also noticed,that because the bike was'nt "vibing" that there was a constant buzzing noise,until i hit a patch of newly surfaced smooth road,then the buzzing dissappeared.So,i would guess that you may be lugging the motor,and the buzzing is tyre noise.
I've had my bike 2 years now,and it's allways been a bit of a love/hate relationship,untill last night.
So i think it is you.
