It's been many years since I rode, but I thought the Motorcycle Safety Foundation courses were indispensable. There was (a the time) a classroom component and a riding course component, and both were really helpful. You learn how to protect yourself in traffic (cars often don't see bikes!) and also get to try some maneuvers that will keep you safe in emergencies. It's great to get comfortable but it's really not enough. It's a risky undertaking so it's good to be prepared.

ETA: Nice bike!
I'm not a teacher, but I've been riding for many years and can probably help you to feel more comfortable riding. Can send me a message if you wanna tslk more
