Congratulations on your bike, yeah, at this stage 35 is kinda fast, bike would seem to you to be a bit peaky, 1st is the tallest gear, in that it's the one that gets you and the bike moving from standstill, (I bet you have hit a few more gears since you posted this though.)
I recommend that you find a place that does riding training, at least for the basics and to build up your confidence.
Most pepole think that your just throw your leg over and away you go, there is a lot of co-ordination involved with the brakes and so. (how much brake, front & rear, that sort of thing) mind you I didn't have anyone to teach me when I started, but they didn't have anything near the bike you've got your lucky **** on either.
You sound like your a carefull person, so small steps dude

What's up, fellas?

I just completed the three-day course last night and earned my license. Other than just learning to ride, they gave exceptional tips and real-world application. Now, admittedly, the class I took was considerably more than the local community college course, but I'm sure whichever route you go will be valuable.

Stay safe and have fun.

I think your bike will top 70MPH in first gear. The easy part is going fast, the harder part is emergency stopping. Take is real easy for a few months and don't forget all your safety gear. Good luck and enjoy.
