Engine machining practices have changed a bunch over the years. The bike is pretty much as broken in as it ever will be within the first few minutes of running. A lot of guys, myself included, switched to synthetic oil on first change with no ill effects. I did observe a rattle when I used a non-Honda oil but that's another story for another day. I'm running HP4S with no issues now.
Keep on enjoying the bike!
