Not sure if everyone knows this?
In many countries you can get learner versions of bikes that are detuned to restrict horsepower for new riders (in many countries, by law, you are not allowed to ride "big" bikes the first couples of years after getting the license).
Normally, the learner versions of the bikes are detuned by restricting the intake, changes to the ECU and similar stuff that can be removed/reversed once you are allowed to ride the unrestricted bikes.
However, the learner/detuned version of the XSR700 has a smaller displacement engine. It is actually 655cc instead of the normal 689cc. That means that you can't make it unrestricted, but would have to but a new unrestricted XSR700....
If you aren't aware of this, you could be in for a surprice ones you are allowed to ride unrestricted bikes...
