In general the advice about MTBs making good road bikes is valid... but this is a full suspension bike. So it will probably waste quite a lot of pedalling energy. And the aerodynamics are lousy.

Otoh, beware of buying a "road bike" - in cycling terms this usually means a road racing bike, a class full of flaws of their own outside their intended specialist use. If you want a general purpose bike for riding on the road then get a cyclocross bike (drops) or hybird (flat bars.)
