I will try to make this simple. There are two things that keep people alive on motorcycles:

1. not riding like an idiot
2. being able to control the machine

Number 1 certainly helps, but you're still liable to get screwed without number 2. A 600cc supersport is harder to learn on and less forgiving. Somebody pulls out in front of you, you'd likely fare better on a 500cc. You might get lucky and make it on a 600, you might not, but there are better beginner bikes.
