First, don't let the initial confidence boast go to your head. Riding is not hard, having good skill is learned with practice and time.
Don't sweat the shifting and gearing to much either, these bikes love revs, but as long as your upshifing/downshifting smoothly and you don't feel the bike jerking around your doing fine. (I am assuming your not redlining.)
Now as far as stopping technique's, I would rather a more experienced member offer their suggestions ahead of mine.
Be safe and good luck
