Noticed this today when sat in traffic, not just making a buzzing noise but causing the bars to vibrate....
As soon as I let off the brake lever it stops ....
Anyone had this?
Also got a fairly bad front end wobble at 110+mph (on track) that I have been trying to diagnose so I know the discs calipers etc are all tight, this is probably down to the 10k miles I have put on the pr3 tyres, mostly motorway so a bit squared off. Shame as there is loads of tread left. It's only Google telling me this, I'm no expert :lol
Cheers.

Got to be something to do with ABS brakes I would think, but as I know virtually nothing about them I will say no more but watch this post with interest.

Would be my first thought also but I don't have ABS :'(

Does the bike creep with the clutch pulled in and the brakes off, try knocking the bike into neutral and see if it still does it, could it be clutch needing adjusted.
If you worried about falling off your bike, you'd never get on.

Will give that a try

Clutching at straws here, but I wonder if a slight engine vibration is being felt at the handle bars but only when the front wheel is clamped solid by the brake. The buzzing noise could also be from this vibration.
Have you checked the front wheel bearings for any play as that could also be causing the high speed wobble.
All unlikely I know, but there must be an explanation somewhere.
Good luck with it.

Wheel bearing seems fine, not been out for a few days so will continue checking tomorrow during my commute. ...
