Question.... How did you go with driving it on the open road? I have read different things about running it in and how staying at one speed during the first 1000kms is bad for the engine. Interested to hear opinions on this.

I drove mine almost 200km back home after picking it up .. 100kph with slight variations from 85-105, one stage noticed I was doing 118, then thru some city traffic, hills etc when it had 100km on the clock - just nice to vary the speed and revs, and I don't use 'cruise control'

Have a fun trip!
