VFR Rear Brake not blocking

Hi!

I've recently gotten myself a VFR800 Vtec from 2003 and while I love the bike there is one downside. Namely the rear brake, it works okayish, I don't see anything wrong with it and the brake pads should be new or at least acceptable, but basically no matter how hard I press down on it, there isn't even a remote chance of locking up the rear wheel. It is also pretty hard to press, I have to apply quite some pressure to get it to work. I wanted to know if this is normal or if I should bring it to mechanic soon.

Thanks for your answers!

Does it need bleeding ?
