RPM vibration

Hey guys I recently bought a 2021 CB500X with 28,000kms. Before this I was riding a Kawasaki z400 and i understand that they are completely different bikes but after 6k rpm on the cb500x, it starts feeling sluggish and has a change in the vibration that comes from the bike almost like it’s got a restrictor on it and it should be pulling a lot harder than what it sounds? I also feel a bit more of an aggressive change in vibration that comes from the bars after 6k rpm. This doesn’t happen when the clutch is in so i feel like it’s something mechanical? With such low kms it feels almost impossible though.

Maybe it’s just that these bikes have more torque than top end but wanted to get a second take from someone who’s owned the same bike for a while, do yall get this as well? Thank you!
