The only sqawk is no owner's manual or tool kit.
What really worries me is that I held it upright and the oil level is above the full mark and the sight glass seems to be full of oil and I am afraid to run it.
Is that the drain plug centered on bottom of engine?

Welcome. Good choice of bikes.....for a second time "beginner".
You should be able to get both manual and tool kit from a dealer; whether or not the tool kit is worth the money is open to debate.
If the oil is only slightly about the window, there will be no problem. It is possible that you are tending to lean it a little when checking. Absent a long inspection mirror, it is best done with TWO people; one on the bike and the other checking the window. If you have to lean it much to see the actual oil level, then you probably should drain some (or as you said, all and then don't put it all back).
Yes, the drain plug is on the bottom, in the middle of a round plate that is held on by 3 smaller bolts.
