60+ mph

change your chitty bias tires a good set of radials and it will be much more stable. the 650 isnt much more stable and vibrates like crazy due to its large displacement parallel twin. dont worry about the high RPMs, it wont hurt the bike and you'll get used to it after a while. I rode my 250 at 75-80mph for 100 miles a day for 6 months and never had any problems, but I did notice it rode 10 times better on the freeway with radial tires.

There's a little light vibration at around 4K rpm, but that's more of as tingling than a real vibration.
You're obviously unfamiliar with the bike.
If the problem is unstable steering, proper tyre pressure and preload settings, and correct weight distribution of any luggage are the usual culprits. Some tyres are also better than others.

switching from the old batlax tires to new continenetal road attack tires made a world of difference in the feel of my 6r - especially in cross winds, the different profile of the continentals required it to lean less against wind
