At what maximum speed can you "COMFORTABLY" ride on the highway?

Odd  question but here's why I ask.
When I ride Fiona over 55mph, it is a white knuckle experience. It's not that she drifts or shakes it just "FEELS" like she's gonna fly apart. I don't recall this feeling riding my CB500 25 years ago. At 1st I thought "maybe I've lost my nerve" but that's not the case as I have also have a full dress 1200 cc Yamaha which I comfortably ride on the highway at over 80mph.

Is it possible that this could be caused by the IRC tires?

Just trying to figure this out.
