Whoa, whoa.
Just because it wasn't as bad as people say it is (that supposedly you'd flip over the handlebars on the slightest application of the brakes, or instant death on the slightest twitch of the throttle) doesn't mean anyone's accusing you of anything.
It's harder to start on a 600, sure. I'm just saying it's not impossible like the general consensus seems to be. I was going to start on a 125, then go to 250, then maybe a 400 before a 600, and I thought that wouldn't be for at least another two years. All because of the hype. And then bcrdukes happened

Let's leave them at that.

I just wanted to add that you PERSONALLY convinced me to buy the 600
. Back on page 2 of this thread, I said I was going to start on a CBR125R based on what I'd be reading, and then by page 3, quoted a couple posts from other forums explaining why I had to. And then you went through and categorically dismissed each point. So I went ahead and bought the 600. It was fine.
