I am planning to get a motorcycle soon. I am about 5'11", 235#. I have no
riding experience, so I am thinking about getting something around a 600
which I hope will not be too small, yet big enough that I won't grow out of
it in less than a year. (Any suggestions on this are welcome).

The Suzuki 600 has a single engine, the Honda 600 has a twin. If both bikes
have the same miles on them, has the single engine worked twice as hard? Is
this something that should be considered, or is it purely academic?

Innit just? We haven't had one of these for ages.
