THERE IS NO LOAD AGAINST THE MOTOR AT YORK AND THEY DO IT TO CHECK THE BASIC PERFORMANCE/RESPONSE AND THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENTS

Too bad there does not seem to be a standard procedure that is always followed.  Quality control would dictate that this would be true, but "quality" is obviously a relative term these days.  Enjoy the ride!

That's not all "factory."  The short and sudden run at the assembly plant generally shows up as several tenths of a mile.  The rest is the PDI run that's always supposed to be done pre-delivery at the dealership.

They also used to state during the tour that a few bikes per day were pulled and taken on a short loop outside for QA.  That could explain your miles too?

Correct, 2-4 bikes per day chosen at random undergo an extensive audit and are taken on a short test ride.
