Mike, look at it this way - 'tis a good deal, 'tis a bike you like the looks and feel of, then buy it! If you find it's not the right bike for you simply sell it again.
I started riding on a 1974 Honda 125. My mom on the other hand started on a Harley 1200 Sportster (she's no bigger than me). As G put so nicely, it's the equipment between your ears that matters. You will lay the bike down one day, and it's really not that big of a deal. No worse than backing your car into a pole, curbbing the rims, falling down the stairs, or the uncountable other mistakes imperfect humans make. I mean, think how many times you've wrecked your Mt. Bike!
I say go for it. All you nova folks swing down to the 'burg and we'll go on some really sweet rides at whatever pace works for the group. We'll teach you as much as we can Mike, and we'll do our best to not push you too far outside of your comfort zone!
