I do not know anything about that bike so cannot comment but I am concerned over your desire to move up due to peer pressure. You have only recently started riding and obviously still have a lot to learn. Trying to keep up with your friends at this stage could get you into serious trouble. Having a ‘beginners’ bike beneath you is important but pales into insignificance compared to what’s between your ears. From your recent posts it appears that image is more important to you than safety. I ain’t your mother so I’m not going to tell you not to do it but you should at least be honest with yourself at your ability to ride within your limits. If your friends are racing into corners will you have the self control to ride at your own speed?
Be safe.
