congrats on the bike, and welcome n all that. I started on a gixxer 750 (old school) and it got dropped a few times.. You *will* drop your bike its just a matter of time, that said make sure you got all yer gear and are taking it real easy.
May *seem* like a small powerless biek when you talk to some people, but respect it. The thing can loop you before you know what happened if you are screwin around not knowing what yer doing. Ask mite
Frame sliders are a must, i just got mine today, hopefully you wont ever need them heh. When i first started on my gixxer i went to the church down the street and did figure 8's, low speed turn with the bars cranked to the stops, and weaving in n out of stalls at various speeds. For like 6-7 1-2 hours a day.Until i felt comfortable enough with the bike that i wasnt scared of being in traffic on the street (because every car truck van suv semi whatever, they are all trying to kill you) be careful
