It's begging you to ride it!

1400 miles in 6 years... WOW
I don't know about your service records but the oil should be changed once a year regardless of the miles.

A rattle could be a hundred different things. I had a rattle once and it turned out to be the locknut on the switch for the passing lamps. Once you've checked everything you can visably see and it's still making a noise take it to an experienced wrench to have it diagnosed.
