I bought mine 390 miles from here and rode it home.
The first 100 miles all you can do is ride along at 55mph.
Then you can gradually start using a little more revs. At first just open the throttle a third of the way for a few seconds. Then decellerate. Gradually increase the throttle opening, duration, and revs.
This is almost exactly what Triumph advises and it's what I did.
Mine never needs oil between changes, runs really smooth, and has 27,000 on it now.
Drain that oil at around 500 miles. Use non synthetic and let it run about another 1500 miles. Then use good synthetic.
Make yourself wait to experience redline until about 1,000 miles. It's worth it to break in an engine the right way.
