You can do a search on the site for "Dynamic Luggage System", or this video explains it a bit:

In summary a little wobble stops a big wobble!

Basically, the same reason tall buildings are made to sway in the wind.

I have it on good advice the Trophy is quite stable at 100+mph fully laden (minus pillion).

I can confirm that... Have riden the Trophy, fully laden at autobahn speeds, 130 indicated, and amazingly stable
