Its funny as I don't think it would bother me riding a 1000cc bike, though I have only ever ridden one. A Aprilia Caponord, all the time the only thing I really was thinking about was 'Gee this bike is big'. Something my short 5"6' frame has to think about.
I myself have ridden bikes for 12 years now, and to be honest the only thing that I think I couldn't handle on the TL is the fuel cost.
The TL is like no other bike, but if you ride like a twit then it will kill you same. Its just you might get there quicker in a shorter time on it. Its all down to respect of the bike, which most people have with its fearsome reputation (which Suzuki calmed down but it killed the model). Experience is best, which you need to try to get, and not running your foot over. Which is more what I think Plowise is liable to do.
