Does it feel like you're dribbling the tire or like you're riding in gravel?

Everyone I know has felt the same "buz" in the handlebars. I went out and bought some HVMP weighted bar ends and that has helped a great deal.

Sounds like something is wrong. Your hands shouldn't be numb. And you shouldn't notice any stronger of a vibration above 75mph. You should feel a small vibration all the time, anything else is an indicator that something is wrong.

Do you have bar ends? if you dont. that will make your hands buzz like crazy.. a nice pair of HEAVY bar ends will make a WORLD of diffrence..

make sure someone else before you didnt mod the bike with a light weight bar end that just "looks" cool.. thats one part of the bike you want as heavy as possible!
