RE: 1200 break in
I bought my bike 120 miles from home. 98% of it was highway...and the speed limit was as high as 65 MPH on the way home. The technician told me not to worry about the speed on the way home and go ahead and ride up to 70 MPH, but to make sure I varied the speed as much as possible for the first 500 or so miles after that. Since I ride to work almost daily, I then had a nice variety and balance of speeds.
