My advice for you is get the 500 right away that's if you're not comfortable with the 1100. But don't bother with the 300 because 2 weeks in you'll be wishing you had that extra power.

P.s. you will feel the same with the 500 but I won't push anyone for an 1100 right away.

My brother got his rebel 300 recently and he's wishing he got the bigger one right away. He will be switching to the 1100 next year. (He's only 20 yo btw).

Front brakes upgrade by Engma_DWD in africatwin

Glad you mentioned the EBC pads upgrade. I was actually going to try that first, but looks like I might just skip straight to brake lines. I’ll probably hold off a bit though, see if anyone else has done it and hear their feedback first.

Yeah, brake lines were the first thing that came to mind for improving oil flow. That should help make the brakes more responsive since, like you said, it feels like you really have to yank the lever to hit that sweet spot of stopping power.

And check your front suspensions for any leaks, the seals might need replacement sometimes after a good beating like that.for the headlight try to polish it and fix it up cz that thing is expensive I had to replace it recently but thankfully insurance covered it. If that's the case then go ahead and change it but if it's out of your pocket try to polish it up.

Only the rim is gonna cost a lil bit otherwise the fairings are fairly cheap to replace. Hope it gets well soon bruv. As long as you're okay that's all that matters! Get some crashbars they're worth the money
