If you are not used to the sound of the engine, my best advice would be to compare it with another one, that is known for being ok.

They all do that sir. I'd be more worried if it wasn't rattling lOl

Well I bought the bike. Pulls like a train a bit scruffy but nothing that elbow grease and time won't cure. Engine noise not sure as I am not familiar with the v twin (but will be soon). Going to take it at the week end to some one more experienced than me. Hopefully point me in the right direction. The relationship begins !!! ( the one with the wife nearly ended when I started the beast).
