I get bikes have straight-cut transmission gears, so this is normal to an extent, but in second gear only, my whine is probably twice as loud as in the other gears. It's not abnormally loud, or getting worse, just a little disconcerting I guess.
My CB1100 does whine in second gear, but I don't stay there long so it doesn't bother me much.
My '99 Valkyrie REALLY whined in just about all of the gears during acceleration. I put over 95,000 mi. on the bike so I guess it was normal. I figure on the CB it ought to be normal too.
