I broke mine in with the take it easy for 500 miles methond.(1 good ride on a saturday) Now I ride it like I stole it. I never bothered with that on the old bikes,I used to just ride it hard right after I put it together. So far I see no difference but personally I would err on the side of caution and break it in according to the book.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
Eat right ,Exercise ,Stay fit, Die Anyway!
