Before 1200miles dont go over 106mph / 5500rpm
after that slowly increase speed and rpm

Personally I wouldn't worry too much about it. Treat her a little gently in the early days by all means but unless you're constantly thrashing the living daylights out of it during the break in period I would doubt it's going to do serious damage. Many owners also like to change the oil after break in, I didn't but probably doesn't hurt to do it.
