I did thrash one bike I had right from new - an FZ750 back in about 1987/88. Red lined it in every gear in one memorable ding-dong with a 1st generation GSXR750, all whilst still supposedly running it in (less than 600 miles on the clock). That bike revved freely with no problems for all the rest of the time I owned it. So that's a bike with technology 25 years older than we have now. I can't say I remember what oil I had in it, but again, oil that is now 25 year old technology.
