Sounds like the Thrux would make an excellent first bike for you. The power delivery is very smooth and predictable, brakes are decent as is the handling. In stock form it's very difficult to get yourself in over your head, especially compared to say a street triple or other 600cc crotch rocket. Picking up a virtually new thrux with only a few thousand miles is very easy to do. They come up for sale frequently, many selling because of the aggressive bar position/riding position.
Riders with 4 decades experience to the first timers all seem drawn to the Bonneville line of bikes. Plus you'll make lots of friends everytime you park it with all the people that love to talk about the bike. It is an experience you won't forget.
