Hey folks - sorry for long absence. Needed an internet break that turned into an internet sabbatical.
Anyways - I'm 90% positive it's the key socket for me - specifically, the metal pins inside the keyhole vibrating, as when I tap the key (don't hold it too strongly just in case....) the sound decreases. I've pulled the plastic shrouds off and re-installed, no change. Don't believe it's the header as that would be a bit more noticeable and across a wider RPM range. The only thing the honda tech told me before he charged me a stupid amount of money for 10 minutes of his time was: "It's a buzzy bike, they're all buzzy" and "sounds normal to me".
Honestly, I've given up trying to deal with it - just try to focus on and enjoy the ride. Seems like we have a various collection of issues related to the general I4 vibrations. Oh well...
