IMPO running in periods are defined by manufacturers as a safe guard to help new riders who aren't familiar with bedding in brand new tires and brakes, and so need to temper their throttle control until they are fully familiar with the bike and the way in which it's going to handle and stop. Saves on all those "TL1000S Widow Maker" headlines.
If you've ever visited a manufacturers assembly line, you'll notice the dyno room at the very end. That's where they happily redline your brand new bike for a few minutes, checking acceptable power output, prior to your dealer telling you that it's imperative that you must 'take it easy' due to all it's techno-babble delicate precision internals.
Again, IMPO, for the confident and experienced rider, the complete opposite advise is best. On most of my new bikes, I've had the opportunity to get up to and keep close to the redline within a few miles of collection, for a good ten miles or so. That's effectively the running in period over. After that neither labor, nor thrash, just ride normally. I.e. Start it, never warm it up, just ride it immediately and just use 'normal revs'.
Each to their own for anyone who disagrees, that's what forums are for, to listen, discard or adopt POV's. But in my personal experience, I've owned about 30 new bikes and maybe 10 new cars, and I have run all of them in the exact same way - very hard, for a very short period, from as low mileage as possible. And I have never had an engine or gearbox (manual, auto, or DCT) problem at all. Not even a leaky gasket leak or suspect noise.
Honda's usual engine sign off was (and I presume still is) to 'redline' a production line spec engine, continually for at least '24 hours'. If it doesn't go pop or sound like a bag of spanners, then they'd sign it off as good to go. So, I think it'll handle someone getting all giddy and revving it to 6k or whatever for 30 seconds on their first day of ownership.
This is probably the best technical Running In article that I've ever read, written by the amazing journalist, Kevin Ash (RIP):
