It could be many of the things mentioned, but even in perfect working order I have found my Hawk far more trickly to go "hands free" than many of my previous bikes. I chalk some of it up to my own mass in relation to the bikes, and the center of gravity and height of the bike as well. I can make this bike change direction by simply sneezing.
That said, I would like to add a couple of things to the Weldandgrind list.
Front fork alignment is slightly out and/or rear wheel alignment is off just a bit. The rear wheel alignment can sometimes make the front feel and behave as if it is out of whack too. That slight off-tracking of one wheel can throw off your sense of balance and direction when you let go. It's a long shot, but very easy to check for and correct.
