I asked Honda and they said every 40k for cvt transmission fluid  but also thought changing earlier is better.

I would never buy a second hand car with CVT. Maintenance on these is critical.

20K sounds good to me.

The most accurate advice so far for new modern engines.

Taking is easy is for everything else to bed-in as well.

Also vary your revs but don't red-line the engine for the first 10,000 kilometers.

After that up to you.

I have a toyota diesel truck 2.4L. It idles at about 900 rpm, most of the time it is between 1,000- 1,600 rpm regardless of speed, and rarely goes above 2,000 rpm. I never go faster than 110 KPH. Red line is about 4,200 RPM. Are you suggesting to rev the engine into 3,000-4,000 RPM range for new vehicles?

From a technical point of view not a grannies once it's run in yes.

Up to you. 

Any RPM above Max TQ is just flushing fuel out the tailpipe.

Re: engine break-in ...

Take it easy for first 1000 km - then drive it / ride it like you stole it.

Engines that never have their neck wrung will burn oil sooner, be gutless, and run poorly.

Toyota does not make oil. And that is expensive - for some young man to remove/replace the drain plug and twist the oil filter wrench.

But Up 2 U

eh? I  had the service  work done every 10,000km at Toyota it didnt  cost 10k baht, dont know where you think I said toyota  make  oil  either? They don't just change the  oil.

There is no full synthetic oil that needs to be changed more often than 15000 kms, maybe 20000.
