Often down to a dodgy tyre. Mate had it on his FJR and that's got a load of mass to wobble. Other obvious one is if it's a bike that's been laid up for a while with ultraseal or some other puncture gloop in it then it may clump somewhere. Go get it chucked on a tyre balancing thing and see if it's balanced. This should show up either an iffy tyre or gloop.

If not then it's down to head bearings, suspension and other complex stuff so start with the simple stuff.
