As to puttering around before the MSF class: don't bother. The Basic Riders Course assumes you have never even sat a motorcycle before (which was my condition when I took it). You will spend the first 15 minutes "power walking": keeping the clutch in the friction zone just enough to move forward with your feet "walking" along. One of things I appreciated about the MSF BRC was how slowly it started you out. I never would have spent 15 minutes power walking if I already had my own bike at home. But it's good to get used to it in very small increments.
