Don't buy a GSX-R for your first bike. It's too expensive on insurance for a new rider and very unforgiving to newbies. Make one mistake on that bike, and you could pay very dearly for it. Most people around here would recommend a GS500F. It's a lighweight sportbike that's great for learning on and comparatively cheap to insure versus the Gixxer line-up.
