It's a Bandit 650 in a frock, so perfectly decent, and all bikes should have hydraulic clutches.
However, yes, the weight of those things, and they don't carry it low either.
It'll be fine once it's moving, but be careful where you stop, and don't let it lean over. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

confidence in moving the bike around, pushing it or riding slow speeds is familiarity.
The local bike garage I take mine to, he pushes them round like he's moving pushbikes!
I can happily move my Hornet round my back yard holding only the grab handle at the back and standing behind it so no wonder the lady selling the bike was more confident than you moving it
it'll come in time,
As will riding it, steady away, take your time and get used to it, as already said, modern bike brakes may be sharper than you remember your previous bikes being and it's good advice to use the rear for slow riding / pulling up until you've got used to it.
