Bedding in an engine?
Well some say run it in others say they are run in at the factory...
personally i run my punto in for about 3k miles never took it above 3k revs... did an oil change at that point then drove it "normally"

car engines are not run in at the factory only big lorry engines.
new metals an oils mean running in is not needed

I would take it easy for the first couple of k's. Seems to be the best way of ensuring your motor doesn't become an oil burner in later years. Mines on 9.5k miles now and hasn't used any. Hopefully it will be the same at 95k.
Running in is a thing of the past but its always good to allow brakes clutches gears tyres etc to bed in before thrashing it but holding back will allow the bores to become glazed
Just go out and drive it as you would normally but take it easy on braking etc
Heres an intersting website which i have followed on all my bikes and they have all been fast and no problems
