Default Please help a newbie make up his mind (M50)

Hello.
I'm new to the forum.
I'm new to the world of bikes.

I've thought about getting a bike for years, but I finally got my license and am about to buy a bike.
I was looking at the smaller Hondas, but saw the M50 and fell in love with it.
My only concern is... is there such a thing as "too much" power for a new rider?
I know I will not even dream of getting a race bike (not yet anyway, ) but the M50 feels comfortable and I think it will last me a long time as long as it doesn't want to ride on without me.

Might be I'm looking for words of encouragement/discouragement.
I just want to make sure I am fully informed when I sign the dotted line.

Thanks for your help. I love this community.
