500 break in miles done + new black top + no longer needing to stay close to 65mph + 1 great 05 stock TBA + 1 truck filled with dirt and concrete = 105mph
My dealer sugested keeping my bike under 65 or so for the 1st 500 miles. I was on a new strech of feshly blacktopped road when I notice I was at 503 miles. Hmmm no traffic in front of me. People here on the board have been posting what their bikes can do. Time for an experiement. Grab the throttle. 105 easy. She even runs better past 75 than below 75. Darn truck filled with dirt and concrete, I think she had more in her, I know I still did.
Have fun!

... it's not just the 500 miles for distance reasons ... I would book your first service asap so that they can change the oil ... the run-in stuff is not intended for extensive use after around 500 miles ...

Yep the first lot of oil is like water.
The engines are givin a fair beasting at the factory on the rolling road before hitting the dealers showrooms. So I wouldn't worry too much about premature wear so long as it was warm when you gave it the berry's.
I've always thought the gradual running in was to get everything bedded in right. ie all the running gear.
I was told the same as you were 60-70mph for the first 500 miles then have fun. The sprint on the other hand had a long drawn out running in schedual. 3k rpm for the first 100 miles 4k for the next 400 then rising in 1K steps up to the max rpm till it hit 1000 miles.
hmmm funny line to follow

If life wasn't so pointless and absurd, I would take it more seriously.

No, the answer is 49...as in $49/gal for the Triumph/Mobil racing 4T oil that they charge you with the first oil change after the 500 mile break-in.

When I was much much younger, I read the books and had the BBC radio plays on tape.

No fair throwing out a topic like that with unsuspecting engineers ready to come to the rescue only to be had! I was so looking forward to solving an ordinary partial differential equation for ya'.
Ride On!

From what I remember out of the handbook, the top limit in the first 500 miles is 3/4 top speed, no WFO acceleration, vary the speed as much as possible.
AT 500 miles, get the bike serviced. The next 500 miles, vary the speed, no WFO running, and occasionally *ease* it up to the rev limit.
After 1000 miles, change to aftermarket pipes, take the rubber bits put of the airbox (or get rid of the whole thing!) rejet to match and ride balls to the wall. I have seen 115 on my speedometer with a bit of throttle to go.
