Morning guys and girls

I took delivery of my DR650SE yesterday after shopping around like crazy.

I had new tyres fitted and chose the Mitas 07's after reading about them on the forum.

When I reach 120km/h now, the bike's handlebars starts wobbling like crazy (really scary) and keeps at that until I slow down to 100km/h again.  It also gets progressively worse if I do not slow down (throttle down).

Can it be the tyres?

The problem is that I have nothing to compare it to, meaning I only got it yesterday.

Should I worry?
