The places where the hone hasn't touch are actually dips. That's is where the bore is actually worn away. It's only a small amount, which is normal, because only the top ring pushes that hard on the bore & only for the first part of the power stroke while pressure is at it's highest.

Did you give it much full throttle when running it in? You actually should use more than normal amounts of full throttle in the first 100 miles to help bed the rings in.
