there are a lot of rubber parts in the front supension ,I think the rest of a well maintained 126 is pretty sturdy but 14 years is a lot of time for rubber parts and the other supension parts .I just did the front ends on
both my 126's and that coupled with well Balanced tires I have no shimmy at any speed actualy both cars seem smoother the faster you go same as a well set up Porsche or like finding out in many situations the best way to get out of trouble on a dirt bike is is to crank it on.Not sure that relates to subject........
