Ride it like you are stealing it and don't look back. Motors are run at the factory before assembly on the test stand. Just ride and enjoy.

And book says 1000miles......pg6-3

My rule of thumb has always been for the first 100 miles don't hammer it real hard but after that ride it like you normally would...try to find some open roads try to stay away from city traffic as much as possible....then go for it. These motors like to be run!
Agreed. Only thing I would add is to get to operating temps before riding it hard. I do this this to my cars/trucks as well.

I think I remember reading for the first 600 miles only roll the throttle to 1/2 the have the first oil change. From 600 to a 1000 miles no more then 3/4 throttle. After 1000 mile the bike is considered broken in.
