That sounds like a slipping clutch or auto transmission. In either case you need some work.

How do you know what gear I'm in on a motorcycle?
If it has no display for gears, and you don't count them in your head, you can only tell it by the speed you are going and the amount of revs, but only if you are quite experienced. Which gear you are in is quite irrelevant however. What matters is that your revs aren't to high or to low for the speed that you are traveling or for the power that you require.
What does it mean to rev up an engine?
To increase the speed of the engine, which is measured in 'revolutions per minute' - shortened to RPM or 'revs'.
What does a racing cdi do?
it basically lets the bike work at higher revs, for example on mine it gives it unlimited revs, so it wont stop at about 6000rpm like a normal bike but just keep going, it can be bad because if the revs get too high the engine may explode
Why two stroke engines are hi-speed engines and four stroke engines are hi-torque engines?
generally , two strokes are smaller capacity , shorter stroke, higher revs. for given engine capacity , long stroke /small bore = high torque / low revs short stroke/big bore = low torque / high revs
What do they mean by revs like say 6000 revs?
Rpms, revolutions per minute.
What happens if you drive second gear at top speed?
The powertrain control module will start cutting back on the fuel if the engine revs are going too high
What does revs mean in cars?

What causes a 1991 Mercury Tracer to only go 50 mph and when you try to increase the speed the motor revs up but the speed does not increase?
Sounds like transmission trouble. May be transmission is not upshifting into high gear
What causes a 1994 Astro to stall on low revs and on idle speed when it runs fine on freeways and higher revs?
Possibly a stuck or sticking EGR valve.
You cleaned your carburetor now your bike revs hard?
I'm not sure what you mean by "Hard" but if it's reving high adjust your idiling screw.
What are the Merits and demerits of the plates?
Pro: you are able to change gear when your engine revs are different from your transmission revs. Con: when torque is high or the difference in revs (see above) is too big, it will slip.
What does it mean when your car revs when you brake?
The vehicle speed sensor is a common failiure of this symptom. It is located on the gear box, often just un-plugging it will cure the problem
