WHEN RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE ONCE ~40 MPH IS REACHED THERE IS A VIBRATION / WOBBLE IN THE FRONTEND THAT CAN BE FELT AND ULTIMATELY IF THE GRIP IS LOOSENED OR HANDS REMOVED THE MOTORCYCLE SHAKES AND WOBBLES. THE WOBBLE IS LESS NOTICABLE AS SPEEDS INCREASE THROUGH 60 MPH. WHEN THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED ACCESSORY LUGGAGE IS ATTACHED (EMPTY) THE WOBBLE IS WORSENED AND WHEN THE LUGGAGE IS LOADED THE WOBBLE / SHAKE INCREASES MORE. IT FEELS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND UNSTABLE.
