Or...
Rather than tearing up your new ride, Just be reasonable. Keep the runs to high rpms brief and infrequent for the first 1K miles. Don't ride the bike hard, just ride it.
When I picked up my bike I was given the break in run down by the parts guy and dealership owner. When I got out side I had one very minor issue with the bike, one of the experienced mechanics stepped out to fix the problem. I asked him how he would break in this bike if it were his. His suggestion was to ignore the good advice I had just received and ride the bike a bit harder than normal but don't get carried away. Limit time in the higher rpms till 1k miles and on startup let the engine warm up till it can off fast idle before taking off.
The only other thing I would add to all that is to make the first oil change sooner rather than later. I did mine at 50, 300, 700 and 1000 miles and am on the 3k interval now.
