I felt the transition at close to 65 MPH yesterday. Just as you described. At first it kind of startled me and I was worried about it progressing to something worse, 4 miles from home. Now after reading your post I realize it is a good thing, because it gives me fair warning that my fuel mileage will drop significantly if I go beyond that point. I guess the bike was designed for either 55 MPH or 100 KPH speeds. Above that and it starts to drink a lot more fuel.
