You are well on your way with all of the basics covered. Now, make sure you always wear your helmet, gloves, jacket, boots and long pants of some type every time you ride. You'll be tempted to get lazy.

MSF should cover this but if they don't, learn to brake with your front brake almost exclusively. Oh, and you might want to pick up a beater bike to abuse while you are learning, you are going to drop your bike a few times. Or perhaps a set of race glass. A GSXR is really not a learning bike, not because it can't be ridden carefully, but because the plastic is expensive to fix!

If you get more serious later, hit me up for some recs. I used to road race a GSXR-600 semi-professionally.
