Default 2019 breakout

Hello my name is Steven and I'm new here..Well new to riding in general I've yet to make a purchase or even take the MSF course, which I plan to in the upcoming months. I'm a large guy 6'5 around 250 lbs so my first purchase I would like something that fits. I've fell in love with the aesthetics of the new 2019 breakout and realize it's a large powerful bike with some degree of difficulty with handling. I'm also aware that the 2018 and 2019 have significantly improved the handling aspect of this bike. However it will be the first bike I have ever owned or really riden. My question is for the more experienced riders is this a way bad call for a first...im a fairly strong guy and will complete the required courses before making the purchase...ive gone to the local harley dealer and sat on one which from my point of view it's lighter than I expected but I fit well .would you think that my overall strength can beast this bike Into overall cooperation without destroying a 20k purchase ?
