Good deal but too much bike for a newbie

So the two questions I have are; is this a good bike? I live in Charleston and I will be mainly using it for around town cruising, driving along the coast, and 3 hour interstate drives. Also, does this price seem like a good deal? Thanks in advance for the help. I appreciate it.

There is a chance you will not like riding all that much, God forbid but it still exists. Why not buy an older, smaller bike in the under $1K range? If you have no experience and no license a small bike will be much easier to learn on 800cc or less. A lower price and you have not lost much. I sold my 79" GS850 last year for $600, it was in perfect condition.
