get a ninja 636 they are power houses. newer r6's are nice. and im not a big fan of a cbr unless its an 09 and up. and i cant stand the way a gsxr rides. but really and truely your gonna have to throw your leg over each and see what fits you.

Same here,word for word, although I'm a fan of the gsxr 750s as well.

Older CBRs are alright, as well as R6s, but they will be a little outshined by the new stuff.

Loved my old 00 CBR600f4, it was a great bike and very reliable. I'd get something a little older to learn on since it is your first bike. It will be cheaper for you in the long run. I almost bought an 08 zzr6, but the sale price wasn't great at the time. Pretty happy with the 02 CBR954RR I picked up.

Haven't spent a lot of time on any of the 600's, but like someone else said, they are all pretty close overall and it can just come down to your preference. Check out a few dealerships and you can at least sit on each of them and see which is the most comfortable for you.
