Better first bike suggestions?

Howdy, I’ve been riding dirtbikes since I was 8. I took an actual MSF course last month as well to see what it was like riding a heavier bike. I got my motorcycle cert on my license as well. I own my own car for work so this will be my main mode of transportation for day to day things.

I’ve been staring at bikes, looking through these posts, comparing statistics, trying to find what’s the best for me. I’m 20 years old, 5’10 with a 30 inch inseam, 180lbs and I’m into scrambler style motorcycles. Something I can actually take off-road. A big, heavy, capable machine that looks good.

I’ve been in a few dealerships sat on bikes and I’ve fallen in love with the Triumph Scrambler 1200XE. It’s a tiny bit tall for me but I’m fine with that. It will run me $16,000, I plan on financing to help build my own credit while riding. I would probably finance any bike I’d buy but that’s why I’m here, for suggestions.

Are there any better choices for me as a “new” rider than financing the 1200XE? I’ve seen other scramblers out there but none of them appeal to me, either with wheels too small, or reviews talking about how they’re only good for gravel paths or flat ground. If y’all got anything I’d love to hear it, thank you.
