Vittoria corsa is not the best tire out there so it could have a little bit to do with it - but really not much. Two things that you can do and will absorb vibration:
1- first things first... change the seatpost. Swap that Thomson for a good full carbon seatpost - and your head will not bobble anymore even if you ride on top of a family of giant armadillos
And I underline full carbon because the alloy head could take away some of the absorption. A monocoque would be the best.
2- if you still want to jump over armadillos... then at a later time you can consider swapping the fork for a full carbon fork. That will definitely say bye-bye to any vibration.

Congrats on the bike - it is great!
