JV's post is spot on.
I don't know MA requirements, but in most states you have to demonstrate skills in order to get your licence from DMV. Smaller and lighter make maneuvering easier
Most "smaller" bikes are also less expensive. If you find out riding is not for you, your financial losses will also be smaller.
Beyond where you live, there are some fantastic routes to be explored in NH, Maine and Vermont (but you don't need me to tell you this)
