Yeah, the problem with that line of thinking is sure, you might think you can handle a 600. Heck, for the first few months you probably wont have any hitches. But that whole time you never really hit the throttle. Then one day some cute girl pulls up next to you and flashes you a smile, and of course you have to show off, so you whomp the shit of of the bike, use ALL of its power, and it WILL bite you in the ass.
I think it's better to start small, 250, then 500 or something. Start small, and when those bikes finally don't have enough power for you, you should upgrade.
What a lot of people don't realize is that these modern 600's make most of their power way up high in the rev band, and it's easy to get caught off guard by that fact. Once you start going bigger than 600, 750, liter bikes, they have a lot of torque (especailly the v twins and v4's) to back up that power, and that's a whole other element to get used to.
