GSXR750 is KING!

I agree that constantly running a new engine at extreme high rpms could potentially be damaging.

I also feel that by NOT making SOME use of the full RPM range could cause things to not break in at their optimal level.

All the guys I know that build engines run 'em hard right from the get go, and don't have issues.

Most of the problems we see on the automotive side with engine problems, such as lack of power and oil consumption are on vehicles that are used... lightly, for lack of a better term.

So... I ran it like I plan on riding it.
It's a twin, not like I'm bouncing off the limiter all the time anyway. It makes torque, I use it.
Normal commuting I rarely get above 7K except when accelerating from a stop in first.

Seems to be working for me so far.

Also, the Regional service manager was at the dealership when I picked up the bike.
When asked about break in this is what he said.
"On the books, keep it under 6K till 300 miles, and under 7500 until 620 miles"
When asked how HE would break in the bike...
"I'd ride it like I plan on riding it. Don't be holding it in the upper RPM's, but it's not gonna hurt it to be there. This bike was made to take it."
