I started riding mine like Miss Daisy was on the back...and I still do. Not once have I ran this thing up over 13,500 RPM's yet.

Liberty never came from government. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of government power, not the increase of it. Woodrow Wilson, September 9th, 1912

So funny I remember years ago when I use to build Performance Aircooled VW engines.
Break-in? Yeah that was handled at the Drag-strip.

Just realized, this thread has stayed pretty much on topic and totally related to bikes.
This won't do:

Proper break-in = Dyno tune!

You’re over-thinking this. Ride it however you like and change the oil at 600 miles.

Change the oil now and ride the damn thing already, I wouldn't knock myself out to change it, another ride or 2 won't change things, just get it done soon.
From best case scenario to worst case scenario, you're talking about something pretty insignificant. You may gain a horsepower or two, or you're engine may give out at 98,000 miles instead of 100,000 miles. Whoop-T. Enjoy your bike aready!
"That which does not kill you only postpones the inevitable."
IMHO, mostly based on experince from V-8 cars, don't leave it at a constant RPM and only rev it under load. My only experience breaking in a bike was with my R1 as a squid. It ended up not being that big of a deal since I balled it up with less than a thousand miles and parted it out, so maybe my advice isn't worth that much.
Don't confuse race engines with streetbike engines. Race engines are built with different tolerances to give full power right off the bat. They are only built to last a few hundred to maybe a few thousand miles before they are rebuilt or replaced. You can run your bike hard right now and you may be fine, but there is a greater chance that by doing so you will seize or break a piston, break a ring, spin a bearing, etc. Like I said, its your money, but if I were you, I would just be patient and break it in properly.
THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF RIDERS: THOSE THAT HAVE CRASHED, AND THOSE THAT ARE GOING TO CRASH.
change your oil and ride the shit out of your bike.
