The serial number will tell you what year it is.

Either way, most Bonnies can go 70 without falling apart; the fact that yours feels "off" at 50 indicates that you have issues NOT transmission related.

Could be someone installed a way-too-small engine sprocket and/or too large rear sprocket. Also could be you are experiencing clutch slippage.
