It will all be detailed in the manual. There are various opinions. Some thrash em from the word go some run em in religously.
August 24, 200915 yr what i did with mine (xvs dragstar 125) 1st 100 miles : didnt go over 35mph and didnt rev high oil change 100 to 400miles: pushed it to 40mph with low revs oil change 400 to 1000 miles : went a maximum of 55mph pushind the revs a bit harder (only a litle) service 1000 to 1200 miles: thrashed it to 65 then cruised in 5th gear 1200 to 1300 miles: found a big long hill and went down it a few times pushing the bike 3mph at a time to a total of 75 1300 to 1350 miles: went down the hill as fast as i could revving each gear as high as i could to a total of 80mph service and happy riding. i got a maximum of 70mph on a straight with a tiny bit of breeze which is brill for such a bulky bike. hope this helps.
