Welcome to the forums.

What year of 6r are you referring to? Most sportbikes can be made into a track ride from a street ride. Just that some are easier to go fast around the track. If you are confident with the weight and feel of a 6r and know your abilities, a 6r is a nice ride to have. Some people like to start out smaller which is prolly a good choice for them at the time. But everyone is different. Get what you feel confident on, get as much learning in riding as you can, and gear up!

Good luck and again welcome

Welcome Missy You can learn on a 6R, but personally, I would start off smaller. there is a lot to learn about bikes. But, get what you want

Dragone is right...if you feel comfortable on the 6R than you should be fine. It is a great bike! Welcome to KF!

Welcome Missy! If you are comfortable on it, bond with it. Take the MSF course, gear up and don't start out with NEW. Buy something with some miles already on it.Being new, you don't want to scuff up a new one.Comfort is a big thing, so if it feels good to you, then roll with it.

Welcome Missy, there's some cool people here and helpful too. Start off on what your comfortable with. Maybe try out a friends bike and see how you fit on it. Personally I would buy a used one from a dealer so you know it's maintained and looked over for your first one. It's cheaper and your first scratch won't bum you out as much as a shiny new one.....
