Hi Bonnevillet140v,
I have experienced that on every faired bike I have had.

Pretty normal stuff. The Sprint is probably a bit lighter than your older Beemer.

It can be quite exciting cresting a ridge too if there is a strong crosswind.

Just an afterthought, in case what you have experienced is not normal, have you checked your tyres or steering head bearings?

If you were running very low or very high pressures that would also facilitate a weave.

I found it much worse cresting a ridge in high winds or being buffeted by semis on my Gixxer which was a lot lighter than the Sprint. I have also found in certain winds this effect is worse than others.

I hope that is some help.

cheers,
DaveM
