My bike hits a real mean lean spot between 4-5k when it's cold. If I try to rev it higher than 4k cold, it sounds broken. After about 10-15 minute I can slam it to 11k no problem.

Sounds contradictory, but allow me to explain. If your first bike is one of the faster ones on the market (which currently would mean about any 750cc sportbike or larger), you will rarely be forced to push yourself to get much performance out of the bike. With that much power on tap, you can simply twist the throttle and away you go. Getting a bike to accelerate is about the easiest thing you can do. Braking, shifting, and cornering require more skill, more knowledge, and a lot more practice.
When the inexperienced rider on a big bike goes riding with friends on a twisty back road or even on a racetrack, he will find himself struggling to keep up. Usually, he will rely on the bike's power. He's going fast, but he is using a tiny fraction of the bike's performance and he can be a very lazy rider. Not good.
Starting on a small bike forces the rider to extract all the performance out of the bike. To do this, a rider must become skilled. Plus, starting small decreases your margin for error. The first rider will be going far faster on the straights with his more powerful bike. But at the end of that straight is a corner waiting. Some serious braking and a quick transition to hard cornering is required. Just a slight miscalculation can mean an accident and at these speeds accidents are more likely to be serious ones.
So from here on out, I'm not going to respond to threads asking "What size bike should I start on?" or any other variance of the question. Start Small!!

I've had a 600 for a year and a half and just bought another one. So what you can;t wheelie in 5th gear, learn to ride a damn bike and start from 2nd (I don;t get my jollies riding a wheelie out past 80mph anyways, i get more like shit stains in my pants. 
). dsmtrubo, let's go on a nice Sunday ride out here in the twisties one day, see how well the big liter bikes hold their own.
