The OEM tires are OK for street and some mild off road riding. You will see that the tread is kinda shallow for anything like mud or sand. I like Shinko 705s but they are really only a bit better than what came on the bike. You will get at least 5K miles off the stock rubber so you have lots of time to think about any upgrade. In the short term I'd consider changing the spark plug for an NGK and possibly installing a DID O-ring chain. As you get more experience on the bike you fill find other tweaks to make the bike truly 'yours'....like any other motorcycle. Welcome to the club!!
