I ended up riding it home from the dealer and then took it on long break-in ride the next day. I did one large 800km loop, where I was basically guaranteed to never be stuck in traffic, overheat, or have anything that prevented me from just using th engine how I wanted. Followed the rev warnings and never rode at one rpm/gear for extended mileage, changed the oil and filter at 950kms and then that was it.
It did take the engine a while to actually loosen up and feel like it was worn in. For me, it felt like around 5000kms or so -- this was when my gas mileage finally settled in to it's normal range as well.
