welcome and id agree with you. get what you want first. dont faff around as you will regret it. in terms of worrying its too powerful and too big a bike remember twins arent the same as a four cyl. so you cant say base it on the CC of the engine. twins you will find have more torque and the engine does a lot more braking.
i personally think the monster is a perfect starter bike. without being restricted. not the greatest turning circle in the world but handle great, good brakes and parts are easy to come by and maintenance if you are that why inclined is easy enough to carry out yourself.
have had a few ducati's only because nothing else appeals to me. i dont feel they have the same spirit/soul as a duc. all the jap stuff looks and sounds the same anyway. dont think i will ever have anything other than a monster now though just as it ticks all the boxes for me.
my only advice would be maybe to look at the bigger engines first.
you cant go wrong with a 750 i know i would have got bored of a 600 maybe if i had had one.
