Its Completely brand new Or just the dash?

The general consensus is from new. Don't baby it for too long and don't rev the ring out of it too early.
Early oil change.

Edit:

From the Hypermotard manual - https://assets.ctfassets.net/oifkva.../OM_-_Hypermotard_1100_Evo_SP_-_EN_-_MY12.pdf



"Running-in recommendations

Maximum rpm (fig. 54)

Rpm limits to be observed during the running-in period and in normal use:
1) Up to 1000 km
2) From 1000 to 2500 km

Up to 1000 km
During the first 1000 km, keep an eye on the rev counter. It should never exceed5,500÷6,000 rpm.
During the first hours of riding, it is advisable to run the engine at varying load and rpm, though still within recommended limit.
For this reason, roads with numerous bends and hilly areas are ideal for running in the engine, brakes and suspension.
For the first 100 km, use the brakes gently. Do not brake violently or keep brake applied for too long.
This will enable a correct break-in of friction material on brake pads against brake discs.
To allow all the mechanical moving parts in the motorcycle to adapt to one another, and to avoid shortening the life of the main engine components, it is advisable to avoid sudden acceleration and running the engine at high rpm for too long, especially uphill.It is also advisable to check the drive chain frequently and ensure that it is lubricated as required.


From 1000 to 2500 km
At this point, you can squeeze some more power out of your engine. However never exceed7,000 rpm."
