Default backfire, ... problem?

Hi M guys,
My M800 (=european M50) backfires every now and then.
Yes I applied aftermarket pipes, and yes I play the throttle a lot for " the delicate sound of thunder'' mostly when it occurs.
Now the backfiring doesn't bother me at all, as a matter of fact, I like the sound!
My only concern; is it harmfull?
Does backfiring do damage to the engine?
Hope not.
B.t.w : I love the M50, what a satifying bike it is !
