I wouldn't go changing the brake lines to soon. The brakes on the 600 are extremely powerful and the standard lines have more feel than the braided ones.
Use the brakes with caution at first and give yourself time to get used to them, I have seen to many new owners get caught out by locking the front wheel under hard breaking.

Thanks for the advice unfazed, I will certainly be riding carefully to start with. Actually I'm a little nervous about jumping on a 600, so il be taking it steady! Good to know the bikes got good brakes though! I thought the braided ones were meant to be an improvement but I guess I was mistaken.

No you are right that the braided hoses are an improvement. What Unfazed was saying was that the brakes, as standard, are very good (early R1 front calipers) so it would be good for you to get used to the standard brakes before upgrading.
