Default a good first bike????

hey im new to this forum and read through and there seem to be quite a few knowledgable people here

so i have ridin dirt bikes up to 125cc but have been inlove with streetbikes since i was about 10

so now my question, my friend is trying to get rid of his 2002 gsx 600r so he can move up to a 750 or 1000 and offered it to me for 4000 with only 1500 miles on it

i jumped at the offer but on second thought decided it might be too fast of a bike for my first

i was wondering what you guys thought and if it would be really stupid and dangerous, i have ridden the bike before and feel pretty comfortable cruising through neighborhoods at 25 to 30 but think these might get a bit more exciting trying to enter traffic

and comments or thoughts would be appreciated
