With apologies, something I failed to mention previous:

I also opine that the "Break-in" period does not pertain to, or focus upon the engine internals alone. Gently bringing the bike up to its limits provides time and wear to ascertain safely that the brakes, clutch, steering, alignment etc. are all installed and adjusted properly. Finding out the brake disc's aren't seating properly after the first ten minutes of ownership, while doing "the ton" would not be a pleasant experience. Are you sure the guy in the factory torqued down those wheel bolts properly? How much do you want to wager at 100 MPH? Do I smell fuel?

Just some thoughts.
