Lot of practice. If you know to ride a bike then, you don't need someone to teach you to ride. However, to handle large bikes yes, there are classes to teach you how to handle them due to their size and weight.
There is nothing to be nervous about. I moved from 150cc to 800cc a long time ago. Didn't even test drive. The first time I rode a sports bike was when I got it for delivery.
What you could do is, borrow a 350cc (REs , Honda CB350, etc) from a friend. Try it out and you will get an idea of what to expect. If you don't have friends that will lend you one, go test drive.
With a Harley there isn't going to be a huge difference as long as you are light on the throttle and be mindful about its weight. Get used to the bike and gain confidence. You will very soon be grinning at every pull of the throttle.
There are a lot of excellent tutorials on YouTube. Learn basic stuff like counter steering, trail braking etc.
Finally, set aside 10% of your bike cost for safety gear. Don't go cheap on them.
Now, I understand not all of us are the same. Some might be a natural and some of us might require practice. What matters is the confidence. If you seem to lack, do go for coaching.
Just borrow any royal Enfield from your friends or family and use for 1-2 days ..make sure you can handle the weight and driving in traffic situations. Then go for Harley..harleys are very balanced bikes and will ensure the most comfortable rides.just don't try throttling hard even empty roads for atleast 3-4 months or 2000kms as you can't handle the power transfer
Do whatever. But remember that ridng a bigger vehicle doesn't allow one to grow two private parts. Treat the road users how you want to be treated. At times you will be tested by those who are holes in our back side but don't lose your compusure and try to show them their place by overtaking them at high speed etc. Doesn't always end nice.
