could be the front wheel needs to be balanced again... or something in the forks...

do you have a stabilizer.... if not that could do it too.... they are very helpful...

What about your steering head bearings? Maybe they are worn and need to be replaced?

I can even notice the motogp bike's front wobble when they accelerate hard......
I believe the hard acceleration causing the front to uplift when all the load transfered to rear. Unbalanced geometry. I would worry if the front just wobbling at any speeds.

Try to replace the wheel bearings first, that won't cost much. What about the tire? Still in good condition?

check to see if you can make it wobble yourself li.ke this....lock your steering with your key, get down low with the front tire and grab it at the front...pull it till the steering lock won't let it go any further...then give it some tugs...so if anything is moving...when my wheel bearings went bad i was able to do this
