Engine knock when giving it some, normal or uh oh?

Hi all,

I have had this bike a week (xtx, 32,000 ks) and am wondering if a knocking noise when getting up in revs and throttle is normal or something I should be concerned about.
I have read about and heard the final drive nut knocking noise on Youtube but mine is relatively quiet at idle and only makes this noise when under load.
It has a good service history every 5,000k... well a stamp in the book anyway and I have no idea how it was treated before I got it.
I have watched various videos and they do sound similar to mine, quiet as until you open the tap and then gets all snarly.
Doing 100ks on the open road is quiet but I can hear it when doing ^110. No noise when engine braking at high revs which is where I thought bad big ends made themselves known. I see they have a roller bearing big end so it may be how they are?
Appreciate any thoughts or comments. Cheers Mike
