^I'll admit...I have a negative bias with that engine. The one I had (a 2007 model) developed piston slap, along with a bunch of other serious problems.
So, that very likely contributed to the awful sound I'm remembering.

I've heard from many people that BMW has since addressed all of these problems, so I'm sure the modern F800 series are great bikes. I just couldn't own one ever again!
I was not one bit happy with how BMW handled those widespread problems.
