This would be way too obvious, sorry, but does applying the brakes affect the noise? You could have debris trapped between the pads and the disc. Applying the brakes could make it sound worse or, sometimes, go away completely.

More likely, might be a wheel bearing. Does this "ring a bell?"

If none of the above, a true expert will likely be along shortly to help you sort it out.

update: I see now that @Frosty Rider posted seconds before me. That true expert may have come along sooner than later :sneaky:
That's not it.
 
Loosen the axle nut on each retorque to 30 ftlbs. And test ride her to see if it went away.

Warpo,
The Service Manual reports 48 foot pounds (65 Nm) front axle and 81 foot pounds (110 Nm) rear axle . . .
Just sayin' . . .
 
Go right around the bike with a set of allen keys and tighten everything!! Check under the radiator shroud as these come loose on a new bike..lift the radiator side covers and tighten the bolts under there too...not sh**ing you m8...everything needs retightening. It could be a vibration of a loose cover somewhere. I did this on my new 16 Roadster and glad i did as found numerous loose bolts...Hope thats all it is.
