Default A New C50 for a First Bike??

Hey All,

Now that I got the self intro taken care of in a different thread, I was hoping to get some honest advices on the C50 Boulevard (new) as my very first bike. I'm 30, 5'10", 175 LBS, and consider myself to be a decent and experienced car driver (my car's stick)...not that that would really matter...

Some questions I have are:

Is the bike a decent size?
Is the bike powerful enough? Too powerful?
Should I consider a used bike, considering some potential situations that I'll prolly not able to avoid as a newbie?
How long did it take you all to be able to ride comfortably anywhere?

As you can tell, I honestly don't know much when it comes to riding, but any adivces would be really helpful.

In return, I'd be glad to answer any questions you may have about accounting.

Thanks.
