But I know I am going to need several years of riding under my belt before I can make the leap to my dream bike.

So I need to find a good bike to learn on right now. I've been looking at some GSXR's I think they are 600cc. I know that still sounds like alot, but would it be managable for a beginning rider?

Either way give me some good options to look into.
Thanks
Yes, it is a lot for a first time rider.

Ninja 500 (GPZ500S in Europe) is going to be more than fast enough for you.

Other options - Suzuki GS500, or any older 600 (1995 or older, the new ones are too skittish for a newb IMHO, and certainly too fast)
