Default Help "Speed?"

How fast can you go on a New bike for the first 500 miles? I went with a buddy of mines and his dealership told for the first 50 mile 60 and after 50 miles 70 until you reach 500 miles. Another friend just told me he can only do 50 for the first 500 miles.

Again it is the speed but more RPM's. Just keep the RPM's low.

You got this going in the Touring Models section also. Just post it once. No need to double post it!
