i think starting on a 600+ is ok so long as you have a fundamental understanding of how motorcycles work. I didn't know anything when i started on my gsxr750 and almost got into some serious accidents as a result of it. find out why bikes react the way they do when given certain inputs and i guarantee you'll avoid the newbie mistakes. one thing i'll admit is the bigger bikes are a huge pain in the ass to maneuver at low speeds compared to something like a ninja250. everything about a 600+ sport bike is race oriented, so it's very finicky when ridden at low speeds.
