Hi from SoCal!!!!!!!
I picked up a 95 ZX6-R. I've been riding for years. I also stunt out my F4I.
This Kawi will be my daily commuter.
First off, I'd like to thank everyone for the help they'll give me shortly.
1st issue with this bike. Major bog when I throttle hard in every gear. Especially on the freeway. I can't seem to go faster than 80mph.
Carb issues? Valve issues? Vacuum hose clogged? Fuel filter?
Bike rides fine if I am gentle on the throttle.
Any recommendations?

You have the wrong size 2ndary jets. I'm guessing some well-meaning individual put an aftermarket pipe on the bike. This person probably got "close enough" on the primary jets, but due to the extra effort required, didn't dial-in the 2ndary jets quite correctly.
Look at your plugs after a wide-open bog. Rich? Go down in size. Lean? Go up in size.
If that's not it, let me know. I have some other ideas, too.
[edit] Ooops; bad manners, did it again. Welcome to the forums, stunt.
Gear up, stay safe.

Dude, you cant adjust the jets, you have to replace them. The are like little hex head bolts with a small hole in them to properly meter fuel flow. If your plugs are wet, or real black, you need a smaller jet assembly. If your plugs are white, you need a bigger set of jets. Get a repair manual if you are not familiar with carburators.
And you might want to check synchronization after you get the jets worked out, but you probably should let a shop guy do that. It requires a manometer or vacuum gauge for that adjustment.
