http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm This guy's suggestions and the technique seems to be pretty popular & respected around the world. Anyone got any opinions on this? If it's your first time reading, read it all... I don't have a new bike but will one day...wouldn't mind a 20mile break in rather than 1000 :D ...

I've read several articles about hard brake in and they sound good. Only problem for me is don't think I'll ever buy new.

From watching too much TV, How stuffs made/Megafactories etc, it looks like a lot of manufactures run new vehicles up to to full power once they leave the production line, so saying to only use a couple of thousand revs when they've already red lined it.
