1. 1000 miles, or 1672 kms ...
2. Such an effect is not noticeable in rides. In fact, one Xbhp member used to say that Japanese Superbikes need no running-in. I don't remember who he was, but he seemed to be experienced.
However, some sites say that there is some ring around the piston, which breaks down quickly if bike is not run-in. So, NOT Running-in might result in some maintanence work later on, but no noticeable effect in rides...
