No bother, yeah i've had plenty of interest in it so far.
Big as in power, I know people who have had a GSXR as their 1st bike and have been fine, another lad I know fell off on his 1st outing. It all depends how much you can limit yourself. Group riding isn't much good when you start out either, you tend to end up pushing harder and harder to keep up which can get quite dangerous for a beginner.
I don't think there would be much difference between the Suzuki and Kawasaki to be honest. Go and have a sit on them and test ride a couple when you get your license. Both nice bikes if you into that style of things but I would tend to go for the Kawasaki, lot more popular (most of the training schools use them or ER5's, must be pretty reliable and be able to take a bit of stick with learners on them all day)

I agree with Matt, the Kawasaki would take my vote also. Both are similar bikes. They are competing for the same commuter title as is
the Honda CBF600 or CBF600SA.
Group riding with all your buddies on supersports will only make you want to keep up - not a good way to start. I'm not trying to burst your bubble - just want to see you riding for longer :)
Enjoy in whatever you choose!!
Cheers

I understand what you are saying. What ever bike I get I will not be riding fast until I understand the bike, the way it reacts and the limits. I know that a 5 day course is not going to give me nearly enough riding experience. Like you said it is all self control I suppose.
Cheers for the advice! :happy2:
