I drive "naked" and at 180 kmh the speed limiter kicks in like you describe.
But the bike still feels stable, no "wobbling" or so.
I always keep care of my tire pressure, especially before I get on the autobahn. Might that be the reason?

exactly 250kPa at the front, so its in spec

Since then I've bounced off it a few times. I've found the bike to be quite stable at top speed, both naked and with the small National Cycle Deflector windshield.
I suspect that 25 mph wind may have had something to do with the instability you felt. Particularly if it was a crosswind.
thx!
today is again a day without rain, so, that means riding time since the next few weeks they forcast rainy days here
Unfortunatelly there is still a high wind for today, so I fear I will get the same wobbly steering wheel feeling.

The preload of the fork has an impact on the way the Honda feels at higher speed.
Maybe youre front tire has run out of rubber or doesn't
have the right amount of air in it. All that my cause some instability at high speeds.
Also the way you sit on the bike and grab the handlebars or the cloth, that may wave in the air,
can cause some problems, which don't appear at lower speeds.
If the speed limiter is bothering you, there are not so expensive ways to overcome it.
But are there many occasions, where you you really drive faster than the speed limiter
comes into play, without riskin` your driving license?

Tires are from a bike with 2001 km on it and the color code was still on it, so its as new as they can get.
Preload, hmm its at the stock setting.
I assume its the high crosswind that makes my steering wheel wobble at those speeds.
Dunno, I would have to ride in a calm day to feel the difference.
