Question '01 750 Kat - RPM's dont add speed

When I try to accelerate (OK gun it) only the RPM's go up, not the speed.
This is strange since it has not happened before, I tried this in second gear and the same problem, tried in third and same problem. Any ideas? This usually happens at 6000 RPM's and when I gun it they go up to 11 - 13k. Could my clutch be going out, if I accelarate at a constant rate I feel the bike responding, this only happens when you give it a lot of gas.
