Lot’s and lot’s of stuff on that here. 600 Supersports are generally too much bike for a beginner. Not just horsepower range, but brakes and handling as well.
Besides, they make power at such at high RPM range that they just aren’t that much ride. They can be pretty boring under about 10K-12K RPM. Some of the other bikes suggested here, especially the twins are much better suited to beginners, plus they are downright fun to ride regardless of skill level.
I can’t think of any situation where a CBR ZX YZF GSXR makes any sense for any novice rider.
