This could be a slew of things...tire out-of

balance, warped rotors, bent rims...etc
Start with the obvious...tire/wheel imbalance or tire with slipped belt...find a shop that has a Hunter 9700 Road Force Analyzer and have the front wheel/tire balanced and optimized....a good tech should be able to take the wheel/tire assumby to under 10 pounds of 'road force' and that should cure it.
The process will also tell you if you have a bent wheel and/or bad tire since the machine measures road force imbalances caused by these factors.
