When people ask me about riding on the street I always ask if you grew up on dirt. Dirt bikes are tall, squirrelly, and sometimes (2 stroke) unpredictable. If you have ridden dirt you have crashed a few times and have learned to RESPECT a bike and what it can do to you.
Now, different story on the street because, unlike on dirt, other folks are out to kill you. Your main danger on the street is cagers. They are big, distracted, and also unpredictable. That's what you need to learn as it sounds you have bike control already figured.
Take the MSF course. I bought the CB to two up with my ex-wife. She's 6' 4" and the CB had no problem with both of us. A little cramped but we did a few day trips that were pleasurable. She ended up taking the MSF course and starting riding with me. So the first 2 wheeler she EVER drove was the CB. She handled it well. Never dropped it.
Don't be afraid of this bike. Go ahead and take the course then get yourself a beautiful, RED, shiny CB and you won't regret it.
Your welcome.
