I would have front and rear tires checked for flat spots. Maybe from hard braking. Atleast have the dealer re-balance them, it should be under warranty!

Pull Hard on the bars and pull your body on the gas tank and see if you load the front end

and the wobble stops. I am sure you checked to see if rear in aligned with the swing arm marks.

Pinch bolts tight etc on front forks. Is this the first time you have done this at that speeed?

If you have a mag base and a dial indicator you can check the front tire run out. A way to check
for a flat spot with tire still on bike. Also check the rim run out too. Hurricane has a good idea, check front tire and rebalance..I run Michelin Pilot Road 2CT never had this happen to me. I have had the 14
shake the bars in 2nd gear at 8000 RPM. Front end was wanting to lift up :-) pulled foward and nutted up on tank and it smooths out. So I start out leaning Foward when I do this :-)

+1 and I'm not extended either but it happens while racing without a damper at full throttle.

Steve, good point and that is why I just welded mine solid. Rough roads are brutal but she is a stiff as our friend Busa at a gay pride parade.

you might want to raise to front end and check the steering head bearings for play if you haven't allready
