You and me both. The 1200 has kind of a love it or hate it exhaust note. Some people think it sounds like a chainsaw at low revs and too much like an I-4 at high revs To be fair, it has a different crank configuration and firing order, so it doesn't sound like half a V-8 like the VFR800 and 750, so lovers of that noise tend to be the biggest critics.
VFR 800 noise for comparison:


Me, personally, love the noise. The crank and firing order were taken straight from a Moto GP engine, and at high Revs, it sounds exactly like it. I have the hardest time not accelerating unnecessarily from every corner or stop. The 1200 is also a much smoother engine as a result, and far more linear in power.
