You need to learn to walk before you can run. Develop your skills on a smaller bike which will make the transition to a larger bike much safer and a lot more fun.
As you graduate up to larger bikes you learn what you really want in the long run. As you upgrade you may find that 600cc's is the most you want on 2 wheels rather than just guessing 1,000 cc's will fill all your needs first time around.
Modern mid sized bikes are great. They will haul your butt all around the world with little effort. Save the added cost of a modern big bike and it's requirements for more gas, more expensive insurance, larger more costly tires.
Jumping on the big bike bandwagon will cost dearly if it is wrong for you and you take a loss getting rid of the monster in the driveway.
