When I bought my new 2007 SV1000S Suzuki was very specific about not exceeding x rpms until you had x miles on the engine. There were three levels iirc... 6k, 8k, 10k, something along those lines.
Now Honda is not that specific for the CB1100. I changed the oil and filter at 375 miles, am now at 700 miles. Will change oil and filter at 750 miles. I've run the engine under full throttle to redline a few time. And I expect this engine to have a long and healthy life. If more was needed to correctly break in this engine, Honda would have provided additional information. After all, they don't want to deal with a lot of engine replacements under warranty.
