Oh, no worries about break in. I'm going to take a long time to do it right because I plan on giving that bike a long, healthy life. And I wouldn't think of a long trip to Ithaca until it has at least 1,500 miles or so on the odometer, maybe even more. Since I live in a city with slow traffic and some areas that have long-ish stretches, I think the environment would be fine for breaking in a Bullet with short runs at varying speeds.
My question was about long trips on a properly broken-in machine. I just wanted to make sure that it was doable as long as I stay within the machine's design parameters.
Thanks for all the responses so far.
