Welcome
Hope you enjoy your bike.
Your right on the revs, first 600 mile keep it below 5000, then I think its below 7000 rpm up to 1000 mile. There is alot of stuff about reving the hell out of it right from the start and how it improves performance but to be honest I prefer to stick to what the book says on a new machine.
When I was running in my K9 I would get to about 70-75 Mph without exceeding the 5000 rev limit.
