Totally normal, my bike has a little head shake too around 120. But like was said before, pick up a steering damper - Scott, GPR, Hyperpro, etc. They're rather expensive but shop around and you'll find a decent deal somewhere. On occasion there are group buys here, but it's been tough to get 10 people interested in spending $300+/- dollars.

As far as the speed goes, well I damn sure wouldn't have gone that fast after only 3 months - diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks I guess!

thanks for the advice, I checked the Tire pressure, and front tire wearing fine. I suppose 157 is a bit fast after only three months, but I'm not doin that in between traffic or anything, only when its open. And besides, its impossible not to go that fast on these bikes, they beg you for it! Thanks for all the advice

Adjust your suspension because at higher speeds your suspension setting matters. I cant remember if its to soft or to hard but one of them will cause the front to act strange at high speeds and the other will give you some bad suspension at slower speeds and especially in corners.

Be careful man, I have seen some horrible things happen at that speed with new riders.
