Sure, but can a 16 year old boy afford insurance on it?

Statistically, you have about a 100% chance of crashing it.

Can a 16-year old LEGALLY ride a CBR600? Yes. Is it likely that a 16-year old is ready to ride a CBR600? Probably not.

There are a lot of discussions online on this topic and I'm not going to rehash it all here, but I'll simply say that unless you've been riding motorcycles in a racing or off-road environment for a number of years prior to riding a 600cc bike on the street, such a motorcycle carries a tremendous amount of risk for a new rider. Most experienced riders will tell you that you're much better off finding a motorcycle in the 250-500cc range for learning, and then move onto the 600cc when you've gained some practical riding experience. You'll hear many people who started on the 600 say that it's no big deal--"If I can do it, you can do it." Keep in mind, however, that just because someone survived something dangerous doesn't make the activity less dangerous. People survive all sorts of things by shear luck. The statistics make it pretty clear that new riders have a higher probability of accidents, and a larger motorcycle magnifies this probability substantially.

Anybody can ride anything. You can crash and die on an 50cc moped too, yet people always talk **** about how 600 supersports are dangerous and you should start small.

If you aren't a dumb f*** that shows off you will be ok, as long as you don't have bad luck or anything. It all comes down to having control of the bike. 600s are harder to control compared to a 250, or a 50cc moped, but it's not impossible.

I rode my older brother's 1967 Triumph Bonneville quite a bit when I was 14 & 15. Also his MAACO 390. Both bikes almost killed me, especially the MAACO. But at 16, you are looking at $3,000 a year for insurance on a CBR600.

No, its too dangerous to handle
