Riding today, I get a slight vibration but only in corners and not all the time?

I feel it in the handle bars, I checked the front end and do not see anything. New tires >2000 miles on them. Am I crazy? Not road surface.

I get the same thing in turns, It is the tires. It is more like a slight buzz, It is normal I am told, I have Metzelers.

Same thing happened to me, my tire was "cupped" pretty bad.  Run your hand over your tire backwards. The groves shouldn't be raised up, so nice and smooth.  Just my $ .02.

Probably the front tire.  Run it at 44psi, and see if it's not better.  Ran many ME880s, never heard or felt a buzz.

I get that when the tires are wore ass out.  usually cupped due to low tire pressure.

I have a brand new Bridgestone on the front and about 5000 on the rear..... they do it..... ANd I checked the bearings on both before putting the wheels back on and they were smooth and had no play... even the guy who mounted the tires said they were good.....

They seem to all do that... even the Wing I had always had a slight buzzing in the bars and howling, had E3's exclusively on my 85 Wing and they always howled in the turns.......
