If it's a tight or or high performance engine you should treat it like a baby for at least 500 , hell S&S recommends 2500 for a full break in .

Doing it the right way is why I can get 100,000 plus out of a shovel motor and damn near double that on evo's .
So what's your point? I mean just because you been working on them that long are we supposed to believe you know wtf you are doing?

The only vehicle I have ever owned that didn't require a break-in<-----like this, was our Toyt pick-up. But hey taint my engine.

How does this relate to what we're talking about?

Most new bikes I see at the dealer have anywhere between 10 and 50 miles on them. They always ride them after the prep them. And yes they can sell them as new as long as the bike has not been titled or used as a dealer demo or rental.
