A Tire issue would be my guess.

My 99 Heritage with an EVO motor would start vibrating at about 60 and get more intense at 80. Had a Sachs 125 that was a vibrator also but it also was natural to the bike. I bet there's a lot more bikes out there that vibrate also. I put ISO pegs on my heritage and that helped a lot.

Maybe it would help just a little if you mentioned what kind of bike is vibrating?
