Hello from Southeastern Michigan

Hello everybody! I'm new to riding and just purchased my first bike, a 1993 Yamaha XJ600 Seca II. I bought the bike about a month ago and have been riding around in the neighborhood and just today FINALLY got my licence 
So I road my bike from my mother's house (where the bike had been dropped off by the friend I bought it from) 75 miles to my brother's house (where I currently live). First time I rode it for an extended period of time, and it was a lot of fun.
I really enjoy riding but I noticed that on my bike as soon as I got up past 65 it started to vibrate. When I was riding between 70 and 75 it got so bad that I was unable to see with my mirrors very well adn could feel the vibrations all through my body. I was hoping to use this as my daily rider to and from work and was hoping that somebody may know what is causing the vibration and, more importantly, how I can fix it!
I've been following the forum for a couple of weeks and have found there to be lots of good information, thanks!
Pictures coming soon
