I've rode several cars and motorbikes in. Never spend too many thoughts on how to do it, just rode them the way I mostly ride them. Let them warm up and don't rev or accelerate them hard. Simply let them go along easily and smoothly.
I've read some articles about the way an engine develops its real power and potential by demanding and encouraging performance right from the get go.
My main interest lays in a vehicle, that will last over a long time, not creating high costs in mantainance, is reliable and a proper workhorse all the time. Not kind of a nervous thing, that may have developed the one or how many extra HPs by being treated harder, if it will ever do so.....
Interesting enough, my Prius 4 didn't need an oil change after 1.000km but the Honda and Kawa did.
Different philosophies of different producers.
Although my theory of running an engine, a whole vehicle really in, so it will run in this mentioned easy- and smoothness, is questionable, but for me it takes a whole lot more miles of riding than the suggested ones of the manufacturers.
