Could be your tires, get going down the road about 70 and clutch it. Does it go away? Or change tone? The same?
Could be your wheel bearings, Rear drive whining cause of low oil or no oil, Angle drive bearing going, could be alot of things....

I would suspect cupped tires...........rub your hands over the tread and you can tell.

Probably tires wore down except for the outer edges so when when you they make contact on the road when you turn/lean they make a rumble is my guess.

On 4th set of MCII and at 7,000 to 8,000 miles front tire starts to makes noise when going left. If I go some place with curves and put on a few miles the noise gets less or goes away for a short time till I get on the usual fairly straight roads I ride around home. Have 40PSI front and back. getting 18,000 to 20,000 on a set of MCII tires and no cupping on any of the tires I have had on.

Does the bearing tend to make noise when the bike is heeled over one direction versus the other, or will it make noise either direction?

99.999 percent of the time it's the tires.
