Smile Suzuki GSX-R250 ok for newbie??

Hey im jono and and i recently got interested in bikes. In NZ we have to stay under 250cc till we get our full license. I have been looking at a couple of bikes and the GSXR250 appealed to me (looks etc). Do you think this has to much power for a complete newbie? It has a top speed between 180kph which is about 100-110 mph i think. open road speed limit is 100kph and i dont plan to go 180 at all. Its a '87 and its from a dealer who wants about NZD$5000 which is about probly $3-4000 american. i have never ridden a bike but im going to do a motorcycle course before i get my license and get a bike.

Is this to much bike for me???
