I would suspect the carb/jetting then.
It should run close to 100 MPH indicated, given the time.
Because you said it revs higher when you back-off the throttle from wide open, it tells me it's most likely a carb/mixture/jet issue.
That's assuming the gas is good and fresh. I've had similar issues with a cycle that had old gas. Drained and refilled, and it ran fine.
