Is this bike too big for me?

I'm a 19 year old male, 5'11" 140 lbs. Just recently upgraded from a Honda Rebel 250 to a Yamaha XS1100 and I'm getting a lot of flak for it; a lot of people are saying it's just too big of a bike for me. I disagree, and it's only a bit hard to maneuver a slow speeds. I'm just wondering: do you guys think I should sell the bike and get a 650 or 750 instead in order to have a bike that's easier to maneuver and won't kill me if I crash?
 
You already have the Yamaha so I say go for it. Once you learn how to ride, even on a rebel, the jump up to a bigger and more powerful bike is easy compared to what the rebel taught you. They can all kill you in the event of a crash anyhow.
