A lot of people will say a 600 is too big of a bike to start out on. I disagree somewhat. I think it all comes down to how disciplined you are. No matted if you're on a 250 or a Busa the bike will only go as fast as you want it to! If you can learn to take baby steps and not ride out of your comfort zone than I say get a 600. If you buy a 500 or something smaller you will only end up trading it in the next year. The new 600's are very light and easy to toss around. I believe they are lighter than the 500's but I could be wrong there.
Take the motorcycle safety class and if you do decide to buy a 600 respect it! If you go out and try to go fast and ride beyond your means it WILL OWN you!

I disagree, you may have came out fine. But starting out you WILL make mistakes, the difference with that mistake on the noob-friendly bike and the super sport is a pucker moment or serious injury.
