Freeway, take all the off-ramp and on-ramps to exercise the rpm bands. When taking off ramps, use engine breaking in all the gears except 1st(you can almost stop with no brakes). Accelerate HARD a couple of times when getting back on (push it up to the 6-8k range), but do not stay there for more than a second. If your not used to sport bikes, don't try to push 1st that high, you'll wheelie it when going to 2nd.
Don't forget to take lunch rides (who needs to eat, your breaking in your bike).
Take the long way home, with roads that have different speeds (25mph, 45mph, 70mph, etc.).
Don't forget to get the oil changed, I did it at 300 and 600 and got a lot of shreds out of it. Some say that's overkill, others have changed it after 50 miles of hard riding, but do not go over 600 with the factory oil.
