I always told drive it normally as you would in the city. Drive it brisk, but not all the way to redline. Think lots of hard acceleration and deceleration. Most critical aspect is to not cruise the engine at one rpm, so avoid highway driving as much as you can. On the first fire up and once it's warm, run it for 20mins at 2k rpm and change the oil and filter. It'll clear out the oil/assembly lube that has been sitting in the engine. Change oil (conventional) at 100 miles, 500, 1000, and after that you can change at regular intervals with synthetic if you choose to.
