Default WHAT BEGINNER BIKE SHOULD I RIDE?!

Okay I have trolled on a few GSX-R forums, and I know this is a more general forum (vs. the sportbike forum) but I am curious to why people think the 600 gsx-r is not a good beginner bike? I have ridden bikes before, the longest stint was for a couple of months, so I am by no means an expert. But other than the power of a 600 gsx-r why is it not a good reason to start out with this bike? I am not wanting to go out and start ripping 0 to 100 sprints, and Riding from Cincinnati to Columbus Ohio at 120 MPH. I will eventually start riding harder on the bike, but after I learn the bike, and understand its limits and abilities.

SO this is my first post on this forum, and so I have no credibility here, but what I am looking for is an objective view as to why or why not to go with a 2004 GSX-R for my first bike. (others that I have riden were not mine).
Thanks In Advance!
