Hi
My 92 Nighthawk has developed a very similar problem ... poss of power at high speed  and yes opening the throttle makes it worse to the point of stopping all together. Sometimes Slowing down it chuggs along and feels like fuel starvation. However there is one notable difference .. found it hard to start again without the choke on full  even when hot  so further suspect fuel starvation .. on the last occasion I did this with full choke started fine and then ran fine without any choke. Seems to happen more at 95mph ish!! It was very hot weather - late 70's [which is hot for the Uk !!] and long distance - any advice on tank venting or fuel flow?  Never happened before - any advice appreciated over and above that already given ... cheers
