the bike back to my
uncle's place, on the freeway at about 70mph I noticed that the front end
seemed a bit squirrely - like one would expect from a scooter with a
smaller diameter tyre, although not that dramatic. I am coming
from an old VFR, and I knew to expect a faster, lighter turn-in and a
lighter feeling to the bike overall and that was very pleasant. But the
straight-line freeway driving instability was a little unnerving even
though it was not very much. Could it be worn head bearings? Or the wheels
out of alignment?

I'd strongly suggest you tighten the steering head nut - it completely
cured the same sensation I had with my bike.
