Default RE: Breaking her in

I bought the bike in Austin but had to ride her home to McAllen (350 miles) so keeping her under speed limit was not an option on the interstate. I just varied the speed when traffic didn't do it for me and the speed at the minimum allowed to be safe and not **** someone off.

Just do a little bit of everything, some highway, some city, keep the RPMs within the limits and you're good.
