My Savage (also a single cylinder air cooled motor) made a similar noise in a similar situation, and it seemed louder when it had the windshield on it, and louder in certain helmets. It's not air noise, like you sometime get with a pod filter, but I really don't know what it is. I assume it's normal, at least hope so. The bike has did it from the get go, and now probably has around 120 miles on it.

I have been watching some videos online also. I found this one on YouTube from a Lifan dealership. At :44 - :49 he drives away and hits second and I swear I can hear the same rattle noise.
I have 160 on the bike now. -https://youtu.be/Bsbl8fRT4zo
