I did a search for "break in" but didn't turn up anything so I was wondering how everyone broke in (or plan to break in) their brand new scoot. (this is branched from moeluv's post so thanks moeluv for provoking the thought)
Prior to joining the .org, (when I owned a Gixxer 750) I've heard various opinions about breaking in my bike. Being a new owner of a Busa I'm curious how everyone here handled their new toy. A Busa owner in my neighborhood suggested a mixture of hard and soft riding. While I'm out riding he suggested I take her through her paces (almost red-lining) for a bit and then ease up for a while to let her "cool down".
Of course riding "hard" and riding "soft" are relative terms so if you decide to reply please be as descriptive as possible.
Example:
"I didn't go beyond 80 mph and didn't rev beyond 5k rpms before my 600 mile service."
