Hello guys,   
So for those who know me, hi.   
For those who do not:   
I'm on my way back from Deployment and have been stationed out in Bremerton, WA.  I'm 23 years old.  I sold the Monte, sold my Celica, and am now looking at putting some deployment money to a bike.  However I've never riden before and people assure me I'll love it.  I don't want to go in completely blind as I am now, and when I thought of how to get some info, with minimal bullshit responses.  As always, CR.   
I'm looking at getting a Suzuki GSXR 600 (?).  But again I'm a beginner, and generally know my limits, but have a heavy foot in cars.  And would rather not kill myself on a bike, but have something I can learn on, that can take some abuse, and to toy with on occasion.   
Any help you guys/gals can give as far as websites, learning material, pointers and tips would be REALLY appreciated especially about the bikes themselves, I trust you over all more than just about anyone else.     
Thanks!
