Well, that really is a loaded question. It really depends on what your maturity level is & how you are approaching becoming a rider. Most of us experienced riders would suggest starting on something smaller. However, that doesn't mean that you can't start on the '05 600rr. You should check into the MSF Course Motorcycle Safety Foundation. The course teaches basic riding technique & safety. Its a good foundation for any rider. Build upon those techniques to become a safe & responsible rider. If you approach riding in this manner, sure, you can start on the 600rr. Just recognize the power that the bike has, the increased level at which things happen w/a bike of larger displacement, & the ability you'll need to accomplish learning on that particular model.
Just do your research, homework, & take the safety course...& you should be ok.

Welcome Jake.
+1 to what gotcbr said. But...how do you know that you "like everything about the bike," never having even ridden one? Most start older, cheaper, and smaller to learn on and to find out what they like, or even if they like riding. Riding is not for everyone...
Where are you located?

February 2012 ROTM
+2 Gotcbr & Demon...but understand that the love we have for motorcycle is timeless...meaning doesn't really matter with age or how old the bike is...if it's been care for, older bikes are very nice too....of course if money was not an issue, I'll get one of every 4 year model changes by Honda. Being your first bike, there are many things to consider like what Gotcbr & Demon said...if it was my first bike, I rather focus on something that can help me better my skills...cause dropping it, is sooner or later.
