Adjusted cam chain tension? If not electronic ignition, replaced the points and condensers?
Checked primary(small wires)side of the ignition coils for battery voltage? If down around 8-10 volts your bike is suffering from low spark energy.

how fast is 150kph? its only a 650! :laugh:
About 93 mph. (120 mph, give or take is feasible for these bikes)
Ed, do you max out at 7000rpm in the first 4 gears also?

It had the airbox, points, stock gearing, basically a stock bike aside from a K&N filter.
After checking the plugs (B7ES) noticed they were fouled and black, I had the points adjusted and cleaned, the timing adjusted, adjusted the pilot screws, had the carbs synced, and completed the WG coil mod.
Now my bike can pull well past 160kmph. I have yet to find the the new top speed on my newly tuned machine.
The most noticable difference came from the power mod and timing adjustment.
If you already have 12 v at the coils then the power mod will not help.
Make a check list and go through the necessary steps and your bike will definately acquire a new top speed.
