The Best Way to Break In a New Motorcycle? It’s Complicated…

One of the most controversial subjects in the motorcycle world is how to break in a brand new motorcycle. Opinions vary. Follow the owner’s manual, some say. Ride it like you stole it, say others. I’m kinda somewhere in between, and now that I have a bike that I want to keep for the long haul, I’m thinking more and more about what, exactly, the proper break-in procedure is for my new Moto Guzzi V7 Sport.

Come along for a ride in some typical Pacific Northwest weather and I’ll tell you what my approach is to finding some balance during the Moto Guzzi’s 900-mile break-in period.
