Vibration around 60-65mph. Could this be the drive shaft?

Vibration starts at 60 mph and gets worse with speed. Can hardly ride it at 70mph.

This is a safety issue. Ever flew over the handlebars at 60 miles per hour because the back wheel locked up? It sounds like a serious lack of lubrication. Take the wheel assembly apart and see what is going on. If in doubt, have the dealer look at it. Any product recalls on your bike? Check it out.

SOURCE: I have a 2002 VStar classic 650 problem with high speed vibration

I would guess that the tires need balancing. There is a product you can buy that is a bunch of little BB's you put in the tire that will balance it. I have not used it so I would recommend taking your bike to a tire shop and have them balace it for you.

My 2003 ford explorer v8 have a vibration above 55mph for over a year now, and it worsens. Over the time I replaced both front wheel bearings, both rear wheel bearings, rear drive shaft U-joints, front...
have to decide if the vibration is engine or transmission sourced
Is the vibration there in neutral at the rpm of 55 mph or better Taking that at 55mph you would be in over drive and the rpm would be around the 2600 mark
hold the rpm steady and see if the vibration is apparent
raise the rpm to see if it comes in
if it does , it is an engine problem and probably a balance shaft timing out
If not then it is a transmission problem and as it would be in over drive and the indications would be a failing bearing in the rear of the transmission of transfer case

Shakes at 65mph had tires balanced also I cant feel it in the steering wheel it feels like it's coming from the back passanger side or middle
put tires from rear up front and front to rear and see if tires cause a shake also make sure no debris on hub so rim sits flush if no change and still vibration check drive shaft and u joints

Driving noise, not from bearings
it could be center bearing, if its going bad it can also cause a vibration, make sure you have sufficient fluid in the diff as well, you can also get a noise and vibration from collapsed motor or trans mounts

What causes slight vibration?
sounds too much like a wheel imbalance, check all the wheel nuts are tight too (I know it sounds stupid but it has happened to me) some off-road tyres have a speed limit set to around 50mph.

1997 BMW 528i. 158,000 miles. Get severe vibration/noise from transmission tunnel/driveshaft/floor when I asccelerate hard through 20 mph. This goes away at 24 mph and does not reoccur at any other...
Its possible that the drive shaft has something on it causing this vibration for example I accidentally sprayed under coating on part of my drive shaft and the vehicle did exactly what you describe until I got it scraped off. Additionally if its cold where you are ice can freeze on one side and cause this issue as well.

Shakes over 25
If it shakes at 25 mph then the u joints are worn or you have bent the drive shaft. Ujoint vibration starts around 30 and gets worse as you increase in speed.

Its a 2005 mk5 golf 1900 tdi when you get up to 70mph you get a massive vibration from the front of the car its worse if you dip the clutch ive removed the gearbox had it stripped and tested o.k,ive...
if it were engine/gearbox you would feel the vibration at a specific rev range (say 3000 to 3500)but you say that when you put your foot on the clutch it gets worse....at 70 mph....so look for something from the tyres,wheels,bearings,rotors,drive shafts,
the first thing is to have the wheels dynamically balanced(up/down/sideways)then check bearings......,going up in cost,always start with the cheapest parts as these tend to go quicker.

Vibration
check your tires... one of the belts has likely shifted... it will likely get worse if not looked after...
