Sure, well I'm pretty sure that I'm being picky when I say "rattle" it's not loose parts but just a harmonic vibration at a specific idle RPM, although since I added some Lucas Moto Oil stabilizer, it has been much quieter.

I have only driven it 35 miles while I owned it and it's still under 400 total so I will reserve anything further until it's broken in a bit more.

As for the $$$, it was MSRP at Mt Baker Motosports for $4200, but was marked down to $2999 due to the 300 miles already on it and being a 2009 model year. It was the last one of its kind available there. Of course there was financing and some accesories and the extra 5 yr warranty that I paid more for, but that was the starting point. It's great for a beginner.

Nonetheless, I will double check for anything loose. As they said, it was mostly ridden around in a parking lot by an instructor of a MSF class, so I'm the first to get it above 40 mph I'm sure.
