I've read several things that said that to break in a motor you want smooth, low-load high revs, and variability of revs, so don't hold steady at 6000rpm, but vary between 2500 and 6000. Don't run 6k in 6th gear, keep the revs up in low gears, first and second. But also, don't break in a motor that's a high revving motor while keeping the revs below 2k all of the time.
