balancing issue most of the time when its just at one speed especially at or around 55mph. Did you do any hard stops lately? Either way, balancing is usually the first thing that maybe wrong when shaking.

Balancing is most likely the issue. You could need some new tires. Worst case scenario is a bent/warped wheel.

I had the same shake on my GS430. I took it to discount tires and the shake was eliminated after balancing all tires

Mine was shaking pretty bad. Installed new tires and inflated them to the tire manufacturer's spec's and no shake now.
