Where Am I ?

Default I am back with Suzuki! I4 vs. V Twin Break in technique.

I feel so much better. Purchased a Bandit today after first starting with a Burgman 400. After the scooter phase my emotions took the best of me and went to the BIG dealership and got the discontinued Honda Shadow Spirit 750
I guess it's a good first big bike but buzzy.
But today, after a long wait for the 2009 I took the plunge. After reading about the Suzuki 1250s "T" in the current Rider magazine. I went to the dealership, traded the Honda and rode the Bandit home.
WOW what a difference. The Bandit is like riding a Ten speed bicycle where the Honda is like a Schwinn Sting Ray. The Honda was really a V twin with a seat. Old technology. The Bandit fires up like a Lear jet.
What I would like to know and that is the best way to break in an Inline Four. Same as a V Twin?
Thanks,
Chris.
