Your 1300 Honda was run up through the gears on a Dyno, Period. This took 2 minutes at most. Hardly a serious break in.. It is common knowledge that some engines take longer than others to hit their sweet spot. The Honda VFR really doesn't come into it's own until it hits 5K miles (I've had 4 of them). Seems the VQ engine has similar characteristics.....Even the Magazine testers have commented on this..
