BAck on my bike. Advanced or not?

Guys
Just collected the new steed after a break from bikes for about 4 years. I'm 39 and my last bike was a ZX9r Ninja.
I passed my test in 1991 so have near on 20 years now with a bike licence.
In the last 4 years I've done my Police advanced driving course, but as yet have not riden a bike since doing this course. I'd been a standard Police driver since 1999.
My questions are:
Would there be much benefit in doing a civilian advanced course on my bike?
It doesn't make much difference to my insurance so thats no really a factor.
Is the car side going to assist greatly with the bike, or is it that different from car's to have not much crossover?
What course is best to do?
I'm never going to do a bike course at work because I'm not a traffic nazi so there's no point waiting for that one!
Cheers Paul
