I'm going to wait until 1k before I start redlining it regularly. My bike only has around 140 miles. I still ride it a bit aggressively but not too hard. The manual states the proper break-in guidelines as well but like many things, some may disagree and use their own method.
From my understanding it's best not to keep the motor at a constant rpm when breaking in the motor, like a long distance freeway ride.
I think you will ultimately find that redlining the CB is unrewarding. No harm in doing so, but Torque is way down low and HP peters out well before redline. Getting the hang of proper shift points and managing the CB's motor to deliver the mail is part of the fun!
