Depending on how confident/skillfull you are there are many good ways to take off from a standstill. The 2 ways i do it wont ruin the clutch and are pretty easy to do with the busa's back torque clutch.
1st way is easier which is get the revs to about 2000-2500 rpm and loose the clutch a little to take up the slack. (nb. i hold the clutch with my index and middle fingers while my thumb, ring and little fingers are gripping the bar) I then let the clutch out moderately fast but not too fast and at the same time really roll on the throttle. This method wont hurt the clutch and uses the busa's low end to help with take offs. I doubt it will work very well on a 600 though
2nd way should get a quicker start but takes more skill - Hold the revs about 4000rpm then slip the clutch as i roll on the throttle, too much can cause cause a wheelie off the line or the rear tyre to spin up. If you get it right you should get a really good fast take off. I have heard of some who like to really rev it up around 6-8K rpm but all you will do is burn out your clutch really fast for no real gain.
