Is this to much for a first bike? I worry that if I buy a bike around 600cc that I'll outgrow it too fast and it would be a waste of money.

dont worry.... a 600cc sportbike of today isn't anything 90% of the riders will outgrow... this bike is to much for a beginner.

look at a suzuki sv650 or maybe the f4i...those are quick as hell though to.

Yes. Please listen to me. This bike will kill you if this is your first bike. Keep away from this bike, please!

Well, that depends on a lot of things. Typically first-timers need to take a MSF course, and begin on something like a Ninja 500R or maybe an SV650. Then when your balance, manuvering, and understanding of your bikes limits grows, you could trade and upgrade. Stay away from anything labeled supersport. Sportbikes in general, half faired or naked, are a good start because of their lower center of gravity and excellant balance. However, they are tuned for power so you may want to lean more towards the cruiser market for starts. The 919 is considered a sport-standard, a good cross between supersport and standard cruiser.

buy an SV650 or a used bike that won't make you cry when you lay it down.
This bike can hurt you in that it feels so good that you will find yourself thinking...I can do that...even when you shouldn't.
