When I got my 2020 Yamaha MT-07 it had some restrictions on RPM like that. I took it to redline a couple times on the way home from the dealer, and opened the throttle at various RPMs several times in the 50 mile ride. The idea was to get the rings seated before the cylinders smoothed up too much. Now its oil level doesn't change visibly in 5,000 miles, so I'm thinking this break-in method has merits.
