Damn this thread is long. I forgot I posted it on Thursday/Friday before going away.

That's not to say if I took it to the track right away I would have had problems.
You might be better off asking what tires are best for street riding.  |
I figured this would be a questionable subject but I thought I'd take my chances on the answers.

I know what you mean. I rode mine per break-in home from the dealer. Hubby asked why I was going so slow (not even the speed limit of 55mph). I told him I was following break-in... so after that he told me to at least go the speed limit.

That is kind of my thought, but at the same time I couldn't not do the speed limit for 1000 miles or whatever break-in suggested.
