Default Beginner Rider! Ninja 500R vs. GS500. HELP!

Hello everyone! This is my first post here, so we will see how it goes. I am a 21 year old male. 6'2, 210 pounds. I am wanting to purchase a beginner bike because I have decided a GSXR 600 is just to much to handle without having the right experience. By the way, that is a hard bike to turn down though. I am trying to look about this maturely and follow all of the wonderful advice I have read on this forum. Thank you for that. Gixxer 600 is a future bike i have decided. So that leaves me looking at the GS500 and the Ninja 500. I have heard good things about both. From what I hear, the Ninja is a bit quicker. So tell me what you like or dislike about each and which one you think i should go with. I appreciate everyone taking the time to read this and help me make this decision.
