My Shadow does this from time to time, especially if I forget to turn on the Run/Stop switch. It's not like a gunshot, but it's a decent bang when it happens. It takes about 30 seconds at the most for the engine to recover (burning out the excess fuel, I expect).
I do remember a story about a friend of my brother, blowing the exhaust off of his Norton Commando when, while driving at freeway speed, he nailed the throttle, turned the run switch off, waited a few seconds, then turned it back on again. I think his carbs were running a bit rich.
