Default Bogging issue

Hello all I’m new to the forum got a 1987 1100 sporty been working on hasn’t ran in 15 years I’ve changed the gas tank and carburetor got her to turn over and run but bogs down to almost stalling out in 2nd gear and up... first gear runs like a charm any advice on what could be the cause? Thank you
