I have been riding since a kid on a mini bike and am now 61. Like many here there is lots of experience. You think it is not powerful but that is in reference to today's bikes that have 3 to 4 times the power of super bikes of 40 years ago!
Do not kid yourself! It is heavy bike and faster than a corvette! Experience will teach control, balance moderation of power and riding technique. Then comes street smarts. You are not near ready just completing the MSF class.
I am going through the same thing with a friend and as I told him no bigger than 500cc and approx 400lbs.
You will drop it probably and other beginner mistakes
You can find those that will support you desired outcome either way. But if ou were m friend I would tell you NO.
You accidentally pull the throttle on the CB you can lose control, pop the wheel up and etc
The gents here are experienced so they just have the control inherently and don't think about it.
Do what you want, you are an adult, be responsible.
But I say start with 300-500cc and when you have at least 5-10k miles and a couple of years then think about it. I would want you to have more to be honest.
