It may be a little mad, but i figured I could always restrict it initially with the 46.6bhp kit and then remove the restrictor later (note as a fat middle aged man I'm doing direct access so I would only be restricting it for my own and others safety)

I would say that the monster is an absolutely ideal first big bike. Light and easy to handle, steers very neutrally, linear power delivery and a low seat height, it's near perfect. Just go for it, you'll love it. I wouldn't restrict it either, it'll have a similar amount of power to the bike to learn on so should pose no real problem.
Good luck with the wife!
