Default Seeking Advice!

Well...this will be a long story, but here goes.

I found this forum and wanted to get all the advice I can get. I currently have a very nice car which can be seen here,

The problem is I'm getting raped by insurance. I'm paying $309/mo. in insurance and $310/mo. for the car! I've had my fair share of speeding tickets, and being a 23 yr. old unmarried male I'm a nightmare to insurance. Another thing I might add, I fill up my tank twice a week with 93 octane. Have you SEEN HOW HIGH GAS IS??? While this truley sucks more than anything right now, I"m going to have to sell the thing. I'm in college and I'm looking at a rising cost of tuition of $1800 more this year! Dammit to hell, I hate that school!

My roommate bought a 2004 Suzuki GSXR 600. The thing is bronze and black and is just absolutely gorgeous! I've ridden it a couple times and it feels so light and zippy. I have a half year experience on a junker Suzuki Bandit 600. Which doesn't even compare because it's almost 100 lbs. heavier.

I'm considering getting a gixxer 600 just like his. I'd primarily have it for school, and pretty much everything I do is in the city. My friend has a truck if I absolutely need it to go out of town or anything. Does this sound like a good idea to you guys??? Am I going to kill myself if I get one of these...
