When all else fails follow the advice in the Owner's Handbook. If nothing else, it will guarantee that nobody challenges any warranty claim you might later have.

The advice about varying the speeds is important. Don't go out and hold it at 50mph for an hour or two. Up and down through the gears, taking it easy, is good also, as stated above.

As for breaking in bikes hard. Feel free. I advise that assuming that money is no object when you have to buy a new engine fairly soon.
