No, it would be a bad choice... I'm not trying to be mean, just being honest. Best think you can do is go take your local MSF class to start. I know touve ridden in the dirt, but the class is designed to help you save your life out on the street. Then grab a used "advanced beginner's" bike; something you won't be upset over when (not if, when) it gets laid down. Off the top of my head, then SV 650, ninja 650r, or FZ 600 are all decent bikes with plenty of power to start on. Put 5-10k miles on that bike, then if you still want the monster, go for it.
I have no doubt you could deal with the 1100s power, but traffic is a totally different situation. It's not a good bike for your first time on the road. Grab a used bike for 2000-4000$ that you can resale for about what you paid, go learn how to deal with the fact that 90% of the cages are out there to kill you, then when you feel ready, get the monster.
For reference, I started on a gz250, road it for 200 miles, them bought a 650r and road it for 8000 miles, and now I have my monster 1100 which has 2000 miles. At the point, the monster is great, but it's a handfull and can easily get me into trouble without even trying.
Granted, if your heart is really set on a monster, get an older one for now, I'd hate to see you buy a new 1100 only to drop it. I've seen lots of posts this summer of newbies starting on 1100s only to regret it. Food for thought
