Congrats on the ride. That is my second favorite color combination.

The MSF course is nice and all but be sure to read David Hough's book on Proficient Motorcycling. I learned a lot from his books especially on cornering.

I don't know about other states, but in Ohio you can get your temp. license and ride for 1 year on that with restrictions. Then you can sign up for a 3 day class which is held at various community colleges throughout the state to take for your manuverability test to get your endorcement and it only cost $25. But if you have never been on a bike, the MSF course may be more suited for that.

Congrats on the bike.. that is one sweet ride.
