You are not going to pop a wheelie and have the bike fall on top of you unlike some of the other bikes. It is a very stable, steady eddy kind of bike. Once you have developed your riding skills, you may want to move up to a different ride, but I think you made a wise choice. The other main advantage that it is a very mechanically simple bike to maintain and work on. The electronics and access to other components is generally pretty easy.
Don't forget to get yourself all the protective riding gear and always wear it, even on short trips to the store, etc. ATGATT (all the gear all the time). Be very defensive in your riding and assume the cagers don't see you. Ride safe and enjoy. The forum is a great source for virtually all you need to know about this bike and then some.

All of the above is good advice.
Where did you take your course and where about do you live? I'm in Squamish and it's like paradise here.
