On & off noise noticeable over 50mph

I have just purchased a used Rocco 59 plate with 25k on the clock. I have noticed a vibration much similar to increased road noise which is on & off when doing about 50 mph plus. It is most noticeable between 60 to 70mph or 2500 to 3000rpm at higher speeds.

Can anyone give me any advice or suggestions?

I am not the most mechanically minded but would like to get some info before it is looked at under warranty on Monday.

Try to identify if its at certain speeds - it could then be one or more wells out of balance.

Yeah, wheel balance would be the first thing to get checked. Not much else is transitional. Worse case is hub bearings or driveshafts but there would be noticeable noise as well.

Had similar noises to you went to get my wheels balanced turns out the front wheels were actually buckled, hope balancing sorts it out for you though
