I got the 2001 r6 as my first bike. I did not have any experience on a motorcycle at all. So it can be done. I would not do it again.
As for the comment abhout not having the money to by a used, then get a new, if you do it right there will not be a problem. All you need to do is buy a bike for aboout $2500-$3000. Ride it for a year or so and sell it for $2500 whe you are done and get the R6. As long as you don't mess up the bike too bad, you shouldn't lose money. I would suggest a Kawasaki EX 500, Honda F3, Suzuki GS500 or if you can find it a Yamaha FZR400 or 600. All of those bikes are a little older, but still have the crotch rocket look with OK power. And will hold the value pretty well.
