Exactly. I was watching the Kawasaki episode of twist of the throttle and the last step in the assembly line was to put it on the dyno and test it out.
Some people say to change the oil after the very first ride. I've never bought a bike new, but if I did id probably do an oil change after the first good ride, again at 300-500 and again at 1000kms. Why not, oil changes are cheap if you do them yourself. Get all that metal out of there early, why wait.
Soon enough with modern bikes you wont have a choice. For example the new BMW S1000RR comes electronically limited for break in which forces the rev limiter to 8K RPM.
