I wonder what you have to say about this bike. I'm a total novice and '22 Carbon R is my first and only bike and literally the 4th bike I've ever had a chance to ride. The other 3 were Honda Unicorn 150 (a fantastic bike for its USD 1800 price!!!), Indian Scout Bobber and Indian Chief Bobber. I wonder what people with experience feel about the FTR with all its quirks and funs.
Frankly, I would have pushed you toward something smaller/lighter as a first bike. If possible a dual-sport (something like the Honda XR150L, similar to the Unicorn) would be a great 2nd bike to get some time on, less power, less weight, cheaper to replace any parts after the unexpected...I wonder what you have to say about this bike.
