I just wanted to get an idea if my bike's performance is normal. I weigh around 220 and with the exception of removing the front cowling from my bike, the entire bike is stock (mufflers, headers, etc). No shims on the carbs and I have stock jetting. Did a valve adjustment within the last year to factory specs.

When I've gone on the highway, my bike tops out at around 70 mph at around 8-9k. I haven't pinned the throttle yet but it's pretty close. Since I don't have a windscreen, the wind becomes pretty intense. I wanted to see if this should be expected or if my engine is low on power.

Thoughts?
