The best way I can describe is that it feels like the whole bike is pitching from side to side and will keep on doing so until I back off the throttle. It only happens at 70+ and not at all below that no matter how I try and provoke it.

As I said in the original post it seems worse when straightening up after a bend, but also this evening I had a quite nasty one when crossing a white line in the centre of the road at around 75mph.

I will go and get an accurate pressure gauge as I'm using one attached to a cheap Halfords pump at the moment - just in case its reading badly.
