Maybe a touch of butterfly/excitement ... wondering if I might drop the bike in the dealer's lot. Pulling out of the lot into traffic cancelled all concerns.

I didn't have time for jitters. Walked out the door with my bike the day I found it.

I get them between making the decision and about 3-4 hours after signing the paperwork. Then I move on and enjoy the rides!

I think it's natural to get the "jitters" while spending that much money, I wrestled in my mind for about a week before taking the plunge to buy my latest bike, but no regrets now loving every minute of it!
Good luck with your new purchase, and enjoy!
