first learn how to spell so we can understand what youre saying.
youd be better off starting on a used 500. if you have no exp., youre gonna drop it and youll probably wreck sooner or later. 600's have more power and will get you in trouble if you dont know what youre doing. you can get hurt just as easy on a 500 and they have more power than you think. a lot of new riders get in the gas too much, panic, and lay it down or run off the road. start small and work your way up.

find your local Motorcycle Saftey Foundation course, http://www.msf-usa.org/ and do the course, it cost me $225, I wanted to do it so I could get cheaper insurance and stuff. Check it out, it is the best thing for new riders, and even if you dump the bike, it's not yours to worry about
You'll be a lot more comfortable with a bike afterword.

My first bike is a 1993 Kawasaki Ninja zx-6. There is only one problem with them that it seems a lot of people I talked to have, when you're just cruising and stop at a stop sign, you shift down into first, but it gets stuck in Neutral. The way to fix it is to let out on the clutch and rev it past 5k RPM, then shift to first.

Anyone have any idea what I need to replace so I won't have that problem?

when shifting back down to first make sure you push the lever all the way down.
if its not that, your clutch/clutch assembly must have something wrong with it.

My bike, which is my first, is a 01 cbr f4i which is a 600 and I feel good on it. You just gotta be safe and don't push it until you learn everything. I'm glad I didn't get anything smaller.
