Check the exhaust to frame mounts for loose bolts. Otherwise, with stock exhaust & AC, the bike do vibrate at those speeds. My feet used to vib off the floor boards until I got slip-ons, then gone! I'n talking about "normal" vibration tho'. If it is "excessive" in your view take it to dealer for check: could be mount torque check time!

Mine doesn't vibrate once I start rolling at any speed.
But here lately it seems like I'm getting a vibration with my teeth at any speed below 2200 rpm.
So I run in 5th gear below 65 mph.
If I do 65 mph in 6th, it seems to vibrate my teeth a little.
I never noticed it the first 4,000 miles.
Maybe I didn't notice before.
I told them to check out the motor mounts during the 5,000 service,
but who knows if they did or not.

If the vibration occurs only as a result of road speed, look at the tires/wheels.
If it occurs in all gears (more pronounced in higher gears, usually) at the same engine speeds, then look to the engine and/or exhaust gear fitment.
