Welcome to the forum!

Take it steady, book an MSF course, and don't get too cocky too quick

Welcome, don't worry about the bike, you bought it cause you like it. Now it's where you build your riding skills up good.

When I went from riding a mellow 800cc cruiser to a 1100cc V-Twin beast of a superbike, I got used to all that power was by practicing all my MSF drills in a large parking lot until I felt comfortable with the bike. When my wrist would get tired from all of the clutch work, I'd take it out on the back roads and cruise around, rest my hand and let the engine cool down (Superbikes get real hot just puddling around parking lots). Then I'd go back and do it again. I did this for about a week after work and when I felt confident, I went to doing my regular thing. Same thing could work for you.
