  Hello, Having brought my 2005 VT750 C, I have noticed that I seem to be under powered, the bike starts and runs great but the speed is just not ther and it tops out at around 65 MPH. Can you help find the issue?

  @Martyn Toombs my question is underpowered compared to what? if youre coming fro0m a ducati monstewr then yes, it will be like a neutered fawn.  if youre used to a trail 90 then the 750 is a beast. LOL!
  
  The 750 is not a powerpacked machine. but you can drastically improve that with a max performance kit. These bikes are not tuned for any kind of performance from factory, they are tuned lean and underpowered for economy and to make the govt agencies happy with what comes out of the exhaust.
  A max performance kit will give you open exhaust, intake and a tuning kit. it really will wake the bike up and feel much better. 

  DO FUN SHIT!
