How long does it take to run in a new set of Goodyear F1's (about to purchase)

Also, will need new brake pads soon (will have the dealer fit the standard Scooby ones), how long do these take to wear in?

I've heard from 300 - 1000 miles for the tyres and 200 miles for the new brake pads....HELP

thanks for any info

Brakes are about right @ 200 miles.

tyres are excessive even on a motorbike you only need to do 100 miles to scrub them in....

so 100 miles it is for the rubber, just be extra careful in the wet...........
