Default Very light front end at 65 mph ? Anyone else?

Hi, I have just bought a very nice green 2008 A8f er6f with 12k miles. I am a big chap around 20 stone and six foot 1. I have covered approx 400 miles since recently passing my test and getting this bike.
I love everything about it with one exception. When I get to around 65 mph on motorway, the front gets soo light and the whole thing moves around that it frightens me. It’s this a normal thing? Is there anything I can do to remedy ?
I learnt on a 2008 Honda CBR 600, this felt stable at these speeds? Is it because the bike is a parallel twin so light at front and exacerbated by my weight nearer the back ?
does anyone have similar issues or advice?
