My new bike eats RC51's and I haven't even pushed it hard. My buddy from work has an RC and he said he couldn't keep up and I only took it up to 10K rpm...

Better than me. He has been riding a lot longer and has several track days, but this was in a straight line so it wasn't as much about riding skill than it was pure power.

Yeah I only took it up to 10K. Yesterday was the first day I had it over 7500. I figured with 250 miles on it I can use a little more of the tach. I wont go above 10K until the first service though. After that, I'm using all 15,000 rpm.

Maybe but certainly not for the first few hundred miles. I don't want this to become a break in debate. You guys break in your new bike however you want, it's your bike.
