Once the snow melts, take the bike in a parking lot and practice your turns, stops (including emergency braking) and slow speed manoevering. Get used to the new feel and weight of the bike, and gradually increase your speed in the figure 8's while decreasing the radius of the turns. Take it easy for a bit when you get on the road, and most importantly of all, HAVE FUN.
It sounds to me like you have already thought of the above, as you seem to have alot of common sense. BTW, I ride a 1997 VFR750, so am used to the bigger bikes.
