Good day Wilddog members, I need some advice

I have lost my heart on an F800GSA, and is all that has taken up my research time the last month or two.

But considering as it will be my first bike, and some advice from some friends, will an f650 be a better fit?

According to the sales person at the dealer, I will soon be accustomed to the 800 (but to me it just all sounds like sales talk)

I much prefer the 800, but don't want to bite off more than I can chew.

If I do get the 650, I will most likely upgrade to the 800 in a years time anyway.

I am 192cm tall (6ft3), and fit quite comfortably on the 800, but I presume where the concern comes in is because of the power?

Basically, what I want to know, do I go with my heart and learn from the deep end, or go with the smart sensible choice and first cut my teeth?

Regards,

Michael
