Even though the engine may not require 1200 miles for a full break in, what about the gearbox and final drive, the brakes, etc. Sheering is not the only area of concern. What about thermal conductiveness? Heat from various materials? Going easy on the machine early on helps with the seating of gaskets, seals, etc.
I still feel it is wise to gently break in an expensive piece of machinery.
