It's not that hard. It's like a bicycle that weighs a lot. You really don't have to balance that much; once you get going a bit, the bike wants to stand up by itself. Low speeds is a bit harder, and you definitely want to spend hours in an empty parking lot balancing on the bike at 5-10 mph.

Shifting gears is pretty easy to get a handle on, you just get used to it the more you do it. Leaning through turns is a bit scary when you're new, but it's one of those things that the more you do it, the more comfortable you'll feel. You can lean the bike much further than you're going to feel like you can.

If you live in a subdivision, or have easy access to low traffic roads or parking lots, then definitely spends some time there getting comfortable with your bike before taking it out in traffic.
