Nice bike! You're going to have a fun summer. Just a note about parking;
If you back it in, until the back tire is against the curb, and the front tire is sticking out towards the road, then:
1. It won't want to roll uphill, off of the sidestand,
2. Drivers can see from the roadway that the spot is taken and won't swoop in and wreck your bike,
3. You use up less parking space, and
4. You can easily just ride away from the roadside without having to maneuver to do so.

Thanks for the tip!

I just took it for a 40km rip around the city. I really want to find some winding roads, just driving through the city isn't all that exciting. It's awesome have a vehicle though! Way nicer to run errands stuff.

I don't know if you can get saddlebags on that, but saddlebags and a backpack are your best friends if you need to run errands or travel.

$225 per month. They said it will drop to about half when I renew next year.

Yeah, it definitely can. I'm looking into that as we speak - it's my only vehicle so I'm definitely planning on doing groceries with it and going away for weekends.

Jesus Christ, and I thought my insurance was high. I did the lump sum payment though, so that might have made a bit of a difference.

That insurance is crazy high.
Next step for you is to get some beefy tyres on it, not those cyclist tyres it has now.

Nope, doesn't make a difference for the company I am with, and I obviously went with the cheapest company I could find. I am under 25, and I haven't been insured for the past 8 months because I didn't own a vehicle. Not being continuously insured raises your insurance a bit.
How much do you pay?

I pay about the same for a gixxer 1100, with a clean record, mid 30's and after having been licensed for 10+ years. Canadian insurance companies are cocksucking ripoff artists.
OP, I'll do you a favour that you might appreciate more if you drop your bike (I hope you don't, but it's your first bike...); Streetfigters Magazine is from the UK, and features some of the most awesome customised sportsbikes ever built. You should really check out at least one issue. I can remember seeing a handful of GS500s featured in there over the years.
