Default im a newb, need some advice

where shall i start?...the beginning. as you may have guessed im a huge newb and brand new to the whole 2 wheel scene. My freind bought a bike and it sparked my interest. now i cant stop thinking of them. hes going to teach me to ride this weekend.. I plan on getting a sports bike around january but havent put my thumb on what to strive for. im 6'0" 230 lbs. as you can see im not a little guy and i have no idea if that factors into buying a certain size bike. i was looking at a GSX-R750 and a SV650 (i think thats what it was). Remember this is my 1st bike ever. Id really appreciatte any input, good, bad.. it will all be helpful. i know i want a suzuki though -) also, i dont want a new bike as i know i probably will drop it (god forbid). so im stricing for 2000, 2001 ya know. A few grand is what ill have so any info will help!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH PEACE!
