Default Why shouldn't someone start with a 600cc+ bike?

A friend of mine wants to get a Yamaha R6 for his first bike. Now, he says that there is no difference between getting this, to lets say a GS500F. Now, providing that he doesn't drive it hard, just does normal city and highway driving, why would it be a bad choice to get a 120+hp bike?
