Honest question: is a 600 a bad idea just because of the torque/power delivery....or is it because it is too fast in general?

The 600s of today are as fast as the 1000s of yesteryear. Get an old 600 or 650 (SV650 comes to mind), ride it for a year or two, and go from there. Riding off road is a completely different beast compared to riding on road with traffic around you.
If you haven't taken the MSF course, do that before you buy a bike.
