Glad you and the bike are OK. My first bike was a V45 Magna, similar weight and more power than the CB1100. I survived and only went down one on a country road when a corner was sharper than I anticipated so I tried a panic stop.
My suggestion would be to slow down and learn your limits sooner than later (you already have the bike so that's not likely to change). Find a deserted area to test panic braking. Learn how your bike will handle under different conditions so you can prepare earlier. No one has more to lose than the person on a motorcycle.
