Default power band questions

so i know i need some carb work shes sometimes like to gurrgle a little bit at lower rpms. so anyways the bike rides at about 5,000rpms at 55mph in 6th. i'm not sure what normal would be. next is the bike pulls great until about 9,000 then its sounds like dear god. the rpms climb faster (same as speed) is this why its a hurricane? its fast loud and has stock pipe. people say its sound like a monster of a bike. so is it really the last 3k that the bike is "really mean"?

i think they may be a little rich, the carbs. I have to check the plugs still. but i know she'll huff a little black if i go to easy on it.
