A katana 600 will be milder than the newer supersport 600s... It would probably be a fine choice. My original comment about the Ninja 250 was made not knowing what size of a person you are and it might be a little too small on hp for someone of your size.

Bottom line is that a milder bike like a Ninja 500, SV 650 or a Katana 600 would be a much better option than the 675 for your first year of riding on the street.

The 675 shines on the racetrack and on twisty backroads. It is not a casual cruise around town bike and it's really not conducive to learning on as it is very sensitive to rider input.

Good luck on your decision.
