With a new bike there's new tyres to scrub in as well, so you're forced to take it easy for the first 100 or so miles.
Had a look on the EBC site. They recommend with new pads and discs to do 200-300 miles of gentle undramatic braking, taking into consideration that they won't be as sharp as you'd expect. Then, especially with organic pads, which are softer, execute a hard 60mph to 20 mph stop, repeated 10 times to generate plenty of heat. You should then be good to go. As you've said there's plenty of advice out there. I don't know how to put up links but a google of EBC's site also gives info on bedding in sintered pads to be used on track days as well.
