Yamaha R6 or Suzuki GSXR-600

Hello everyone, just wanting to get some opinions on these two bikes, and which one I should end up getting. Which one is more beginner friendly (it would be my first motorbike) and also which one is louder( as in has that really cool scream that sounds like a v12 aventador).

for reference, my budget is about £5k/6k as I know I’m probably going to drop this bike a couple of times and don’t want to spend more than “an expensive holiday” would on something that might get totalled. I would be wanting to get a 2006/07 R6 or 2006/09 gsxr firstly due to budget but also as I heard apparently that these are the louder variants.

any help would be really appreciated
