You don't want a Gixxer for a first bike. Look at something cheaper. a Katana is a Gixxer, but it's a sport-standard, instead of a proper sport bike, so the rate is smaller. Gixxers also have a terrible reputation for being banged up by squids who get killed on them. So your insurance company will assume you're a psycho.
Honda CB600 "Hornet" would be good if you're going for a naked bike. Nearly everything at 500-550ccs will also be a sport-standard instead of a sport bike.
You also want a sport-standard if you're above 5'10". Sitting on a forward leaning bike beyond 30 degrees is suffering, especially if you're going on long rides.
If Japan would just export them, 400cc bikes would be perfect starters. Not big enough to kill you, while being big enough to carry a passenger. Thanks to Japan's licensing system, 400s have a decent aftermarket, and people turbocharge their CB400SFs occasionally.
