Welcome to seabarf! Why do you want to start on a newer, more aggressive bike? any of the F series 600s are equally as fast and nimble on the streets however are a lot more forgiving. Why not a 250/300/500r, they are great for new riders to learn on and normally hold their resale value.

Welcome.
Which one do you like?
1. new body style
2. some damage
3. lowered.
They are all a lot of bike as a first ride. I wouldn't worry about the damage. Chances are you will knock it over anyway. Lowered is good if you're not tall. The new body style is a matter of opinion if you like it enough to spend over $1k more.

Welcome to CBRF! That is a lot of bike for a new guy. It's not that it's impossible, but you won't learn to ride as fast as you would on an older bike. Older bikes are cheap, they're more forgiving, and the depreciate less when you tip over on 'em (which you will - it's only a matter of time).
I had an f3 for my first bike. It was a damn fine first bike. I learned a lot, it still had a ton of power to keep me entertained on the back roads once I knew what I was doing. I learned a lot about motorcycles by having an older carb'ed bike

i started on an f4 but everyone is right hop on a 250 and you can learn way faster then riding a 600cc superbike with too much power.i own a 300 kawi as well as an f4 the 300 is nimble and i lean the bike more then the 600 but the 300 riding has made me more confident on the f4. 600s are faster then they seem. speed kills inexperience and testosterone play a role on whether or not you can live the first three months on one. by all means im not ranting.i wish i woulda started smaller and am lucky to be here today.be safe!!

Whatever you end up getting, take the Basic Rider MSF course. There's probably one near you. I took it a couple of years ago even though I started riding many years prior to that. They teach you some good stuff that can save your hide on the streets.
Also, welcome aboard.
