Wow, if the rebuild is so fresh that the rings haven't seated yet, it shouldn't be driven at 50 mph, IMO.

Yup. My rebuilder said keep it under 35 for the first 300 miles. I took her out for a 20 mile ride each evening and went up and down hills, coming on and off the throttle. You don't want a steady throttle for long periods of time until the rings seat.
