Thing is you DO NOT run it like you stole it. You warm her up, run her gently at first. Cool her off. Run her harder, and then run her harder again. It's not 1-6 redline at 0 miles, then hit the kill switch and walk away. There are steps to follow. AND CHANGE YOUR OIL Used moto’s break in. Thing is you DO NOT run it like you stole it.

I've purchased a 2010 zx6r with 1400kms on the clock but it won't break 205kph, hits that at 12,000 in 5th, won't budge over, even clicking into 6th she won't move? Any suggestions? Trying to get her looked at but the place I brought it from basically said its not their problem I run in all my engines this way, hard and fast, no need to lead them into a false sense of security.

That way you don't load up the rings but allow them smoothly and lightly hone themselves to the bore. What you don't want to do is pull from low rpm's with WTO...this is what scars the cylinder, makes the rings out of round and created hot spots on the walls of the bore where later fuel will get by them and shorte oil life.
