Grrnt brings up an excellent point. If you aren't running the bike more than 50K miles (80K+ km), just how do you know what the break in period did???? These engines should run at least 100K miles without being babied. For that matter, where is the body of evidence that clearly shows that a more rapid break in period is detrimental to the bike? Clearly, without that type of information, attributing a low mileage bike's good fortune to the break in period is like the rooster taking credit for the sunrise.
