1200 miles. Tolerances are pretty good on modern machines, but there is still some good science behind the break-in procedures. If you want to feel good about your break-in, run the RPMs up and down constantly - i.e. avoid cruise control scenarios where you are at the same RPMs for extended periods of time. Avoid WOT, but don't be afraid to occasionally run the throttle up pretty high as you hit 4K RPMs or even a bit more. Change oil immediately after break-in.

Or just beat the $hit out of it right off the lot
