Yes. Both my Heritages have had that feeling. Maybe that's why the front tire lasts so long.

Myself, I've never noticed anything like that, but then I keep around 36 in the front.

How fast are you talking about? When I am on the hwy I will cruise at 80 to 90 at times and can't really say it is any different than 70 other than the revs.
