I think that is a fine starter bike IF you get it in good running order. The last thing you want as a new rider is to be worrying about the runability of your bike. Next thing you know you are distracted and fiddling with things as you are trying to ride down the road and that's when things go haywire.
Other things to check and doublecheck are headlight/taillight and all your blinkers. This is especially crucial in the summertime when it stays light out longer...you may not be able to tell if your headlight is working or not, and we don't think to check it, but it is instrumental in being seen by others. And blinkers are huge. If you don't turn on your blinker on a bike it can be huge.
