I had a recent similar experience and it was a loose emulsion tube.

Sounds to me like the bike is hitting the inbuilt restrictor which is linked to the speedo.

Have you messed with the dash/clocks at all recently?

Have a look at all of the plugs around the dash and make sure they are clean and secure
