First thing I would check is the rear wheel alignment, that is the most likely cause of that

if there is a problem, the culprit is more than likely the rear tire alignment (as stated by limpy.) check the spacing on both sides of the axle to make sure they are the same. dont know the bike's history but it may also have a bent swingarm or rim.

if you are new to riding and the bike has pulled to the right since you got it, there may not be any problem at all. most roads are slanted to the outside (right) to help with rain run-off. some roads are much more severe than others. im just speaking from experience. i thought there was a problem with my first bike right after i bought it. it always seemed to move to the right while riding, especially on a certain highway. i was new and thought i'd gotten ripped off till a more experienced friend told me that it was normal. i felt pretty dumb but learned something.

Don't ride with no hands hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

No serious the main reason is your back wheel, it might just be out of line, you wont see it with the naked eye but if you want it to run true & straight you need 2 straight edges against the rear wheel to true it up with the front, it could be a tyre problem if that dosent fix it.

Im sure if tangelo would have dropped the bike or wrecked it, would have mentioned it in the thread, so you can forget about the frame being bent,

My bike does that to on my 98 f3. I think its road crown, because my rear tire alignment is fine.
