I'm no expert, but I'd imagine
1. Warped front brake discs
2. Out of balance front wheel
3. Loose head bearings
If you have a K6 its still covered by warranty so take it back to the dealer and get it checked out IMHO.
I'm sure somebody a bit more knowledgable will be along in a minute to confirm my susipicions or ridicule me !!!
A bit more info would be useful, i.e does the brake lever pulse when you apply it or does the whole front end shake about ?
Binding / sticking brakes.

As a general rule of thumb, start with the cheapest thing and move on from there.
tyre pressure ?
binding brakes ?
front suspension working evenly?
head bearings?
all cost nothing to check, not many things just happen on a bike, it's either got worse over time or started after a drop something, a history of how the problem started won't hurt either.
