Hello...2005 1200RT lugging and missing under load above 5000 rpm

Hello out there. I'm new to the site, but not a new Beemer owner.
Came down with a sudden and intermittent problem with my baby, an 05 R1200RT with only 30,000 miles: It's lugging and missing when I roll the throttle on under load between 5 and 5500rpm. It seems to miss and lack power when accelerating past 80mph, in 5th or 6th. At lower RPM's it seems to run fine. Don't know where to start, fuel related or electronic. Had the standard service at 26,000 with new plugs, filter etc... My battery is 7 years old, and I just ordered a new one from Beemer Boneyard. Thought I'd start there and see if the problem disappears.
Any suggestions?
Hate to take it to the BMW shop before I exhaust all other options....$$$$....
