Jack up the bike with the front wheel off the ground, turn the bars from stop to stop and see if you feel any dragging, notching or extreme looseness any where in it. More than likely you need new steering head bearings. It could be something else but that's where I would start.
Good luck.

If you have laced wheels (spokes) definitely have them trued. I caught a vicious wobble when I would let off the throttle. Was rear wheel out of true. Easy fix.

+1 on the loose rear spokes. I had it happen to me as well. When I rolled off the throttle the front end would shake all the way down the road. Take an allen wrench and ping the spokes. You will know quickly which ones are loose.
