Good on you for taking and passing your test!
Be careful with a sports 600 though! They rev like a b
d and you tend to ride them harder than a litre bike!
Sounds stupid but I would go for a bigger capacity bike that smooths out your riding! I've been riding for 24 years on the road, which is scary! I was 40 this year and looking back over all my pictures of bikes that I've owned, I can remember a cheeky fzr600 which was by far the bike that I scared myself on the most, age probably had something to do with it though!
I went to a new 900 fireblade after that and found it far nicer to ride, I've had over 30 bikes since I passed my test and 27 of those have been 1000cc or over, I'm currently on a new k1300s which is so so smooth. I took a cbr600rr out a couple times on track last year and found it far harder to get on with than a big bike.
Insurance will play a big part in purchase I'm sure, but for me I would get a bigger, cheaper bike first or a triple or twin, out of the bunch the street triple is going to be the best for you, that 675 engine is a peach and has more torque than the r6
Just my 2p worth!
