    I’m considering restricting it because it’ll be my first bike :)

    I’ve some of my biker friends telling me a 650cc is too powerful to start on & that I need maximum a 250 to build up my confidence.

    So my solution to avoid buying two bikes in a short space of time and to get the bike I really want for commuting is to restrict it until I build up confidence...... opinions on this idea?

    It's a detuned 650 twin, it's not remotely fast. You could get a 250 that would be faster than it.

    Greater cc doesn't always mean more power.

    That's a fine starter bike for you or anyone else.

    If you restrict the bike you won't get any insurance discount because it won't be factory restricted, it will make the bike basically un rideable and it's not necessary
