<shrugs> It's not the best bike to start on, doesn't mean your going to lay it down and destroy the bike the first week you ride it. The most dangerous time is after someone rides long enough to gain some false confidence in their skills and starts pushing the envelope some. Your superman, the bikes a pussycat, your in total control and everyone who warned you about it must not have realized your potential, etc, etc.. Trust me, we've all been there, we understand, but please don't underestimate the bike or overestimate your own skills. You don't have the muscle memory, trained reflexes or practical experience to pull your *** out of the fire if you let your confidence get you into a situation that you don't have time to "think" about. A situation a 600 is more than capable of lulling you into.

Middle of a twisty at high speed, you spot something on the road in front of the bike, no time to think, how does your body respond? Accelerate/decelerate? Front brake, rear brake both brakes or no brakes? Stand the bike up and try to slow? Tighten your line to the inside or go outside? Stand on the pegs and try to pass over it? These split second decisions are the ones your brains logical response to is usually wrong about. Experience teaches you how to get out of the situations 600 sport bikes like to draw you into.

Just be careful out there, the number of people that felt the same way you do now after getting a bike like that, then ended up becoming a statistic is a freakishly large number, and climbing.

I'm not trying to diminish your skills, or your choice of bike. just giving you some practical things to think about, some food for thought, that in all actuallity your very likely to ignore. Regardless, keep it safe and shiny side up.
