I have to disagree with one thing in Twowheels post. The Vulcan 900 LT motor vibrates no more than the Versys.
I always recommend a used bike for a first bike. You will probably drop it at some point in time while you are getting used to it.
Whether the Versys is too small or too big or too powerful for you is very subjective. If you have a 32" inseam and have some muscle you should have no issues holding the bike up. If you have extensive 2 wheel experience with bicycles you should have the basic riding and balancing skills. If you have driven standard shift cars you should have little issue getting used to the clutch. If you have very good concentration and situational awareness you should survive your first year of riding. If you don't have the above then I recommend you wait until you pass the MSF course before you even think about purchasing a bike. Depending on how you do in the class you might want to choose a beater bike that you can practice on and then sell when you are ready to move up.
good luck.
