So I won't be able to buy my own bike for about a year, but during that time I will have access to my father's versys 650. I'm just wondering how bad of an idea it is for that to be the first bike that I ride? I'm 5'9" (mostly leg tho), around 140 pounds and pretty muscular. I've also spent a fair amount of time just sitting on the bike and getting comfortable with the weight and feel of it, but of course I understand that's not the same thing as actually riding it.
The only reason I'm really considering just going with it is that because it's my dad's bike, he has a good feel for the bike and I would be practicing just riding in empty parking lots with him around to watch and help as need be before I ever go out on the road. If it's a stupid idea, please tell me because I obviously have no riding experience besides just sitting on the back, and need someone to just be blunt with me. Thanks!
