Description of the problem	Motorcycle riding on a clear day on new concrete 2 lane highway, very little traffic in rural iowa. Total of three motorcycles. All three brand new harley tour bikes, all with less than 1000 miles. I was last bike in group when middle bike experienced rear wheel wobble while entering a sweeping curve at 60 mph. Bike "walked" itself across oncoming lane and into ditch before rider could stop it. Bike and rider were not seriously hurt. Bike was drivable but for safety, hauled to dealer. Dealer said nothing wrong and never heard of problem before. Upon searching websites, find out many with same problem and same response from dealer and harley, owner refused dealers claim of nothing wrong with bike and ended up accepting low ball buyback offer from dealer. Problem is inherent design flaw in rubber isolator donuts in rear swing arm allowing lateral movement of rear wheel.
