To the OP, have you figured out the problem yet?
Probably subjective.
I talked to the shop foreman about it yesterday; he looked at it, and said, yep, it's normal (I can see your eyes roll). But if it were WILDLY out of normal range, he'd probably say something - or else ruin the shop reputation.
The mirrors don't fuzz out; which tells me it's high-pitched and not that intensive - otherwise those mirrors on posts would give me a blur.
Out on a country road yesterday I wound it up to over 5000 rpm...the buzz did mitigate at the high speed. So it's not something twisted or bent - it's probably the inherent harmonics.
Holding the bars more lightly makes it easier on my hand.
And...it's important...I like this machine. I guess this is one of those compromises I have to learn to accept.

Did you lose the kickstand? A turn signal lens? Headlight bulb? Air cleaner cover? Choke knob? Odometer knob? A mirror start spinning and fly off? Battery cover or strap? Oh wait...your on a Honda...never mind. Your good.
