I already have a 50cc moped and this would be my first car or lager motorcycle.

If in the UK - car.
Hot sunny country, bike maybe.
Think about insurance costs and all the gear you need for a bike.
Do you need to wear smart clothes for work etc. Changing facilities.
GSXR after a moped? Silly person. Put your ego away and move up slowly after passing your test and do some training.

Go for the car for sure until you learn more sense and road craft,I'm not being nasty when I say that because I remember what I was like when I was 17,thought I knew it all about driving,luckily after a few minor accidents in the car I wised up;however on a GSXR600 you might not be so lucky as there is zero protection from even a minor crash.
Give yourself a few years driving and then if you still want a bike go for it,I bet when you see how many idiots are on the road you might just stick with the car,its so much safer !
Happy motoring.

If you are in the UK
You can't ride a 600 motorbike at 17 on the road
You have to pass a 125 test and ride one for 2 years before you can ride a 600

If you live anywhere with cold weather, get the car. You can't ride a motorcycle when it's 10 below zero. Well, I guess you could, but you'd better be wearing a snowmobile suit so you don't get frostbite.
The car is safer, as well, until you gain more experience driving.

get a 125 ride that for a year before you even think of hitting a road on a sportsbike 600. that bike can do 140 easy. do your car license and bike licence learn the road then get a gixer 6. keep it at 33hp for 2 years or do direct access if you can afford it.

Fiesta. I don't think you are allowed to drive that sixe motorcycle at 17 anyway. I believe you are restricted to 125cc. Check the back of your licence for details or contact DSA (Driving Standards Agency). You are restricted to motorcycles of 33BHP or less for two years after passing your motorcycle test.

A Car is better than motorcycle more safer and if u live in UK u won't get 600cc motorcycle for your young age and is faster than your 50cc moped, go for a car and learn more skills about the road and winter on is way.

by the car youll live longer a 17 yr old on a gsxr600 is similar to a 4 yr old with a loaded AK47 assault rifle
PS if playing with death sounds exciting most bike accidents result in amputation

Winters coming, your girlfriend wont like the cold, the bike is far more likely to kill you and if you crash it its more likely to be an insurance write off, also the no claims if you manage to keep it is not so easy to transfer from bike to car and you are more likely to get a ban from speeding on the bike
so..........get the bike you've got the rest of your life to regret it

If you value your life, take the car. Theres too many idiots on the road that don't look for bikes. They are fun, but dangerous. Think of your wife / girlfriend, parents and children.
DUMP THE BIKE, GET THE CAR
