The M will power you around without a problem, but you may want to look at a bigger bike before making your final decision. I came from riding sportbikes as well, and sometimes I do wish for some more power. The M handles great for a cruiser, get's a respectable mpg, and has lot's of great features. I was not disappointed with buying it, and will hang on to it for a while. It is a great all around bike. I really like the M109R2, problem is I don't really want an 1800cc bike - it's overkill for me. A 1200 would be about perfect, but then your talkin quite a few dollars more.
Maybe an option to consider is buying used. You could save some cash, and put that towards mods, or you may even find one with mods you like.
