Default 97 honda cbr f3 head gasket replacement

hi im fairly new to motorcycles and i wanted to see if anyone could give me some advice, ive found a used 97 cbr f3 that needs a new head gasket, and i was thinking i might be able to do it myself. im taking a sort of introduction to motorcycle maitenence/mechanics class at my city college so i have some resources and a solid knowledge base. im also a pretty quick learner and i can be organized. if i take it slow could i replace the head gasket myself; id really like the experience screwing around with the bike but i also want a bike to ride and i dont want to get in too deep and not be able to ride it for months. can i handle it?
