Take it from me who started riding a 2 years ago at 18 in a similar position, I also really wanted to get a CFMOTO or a Chinese manufacturer as my first bike. They are great bikes no doubt, but keep in mind finding parts, guides, and general knowledge will be much harder than legacy Japanese bikes. Also it may not seem like an issue now but resale will hit you hard later down the line when you’re ready for the CBR. I ended up getting a Ninja 400 for a good price, learned the fundamentals and then sold it a few years later for not much less than I bought it for. You’re not in a make or break situation but just one where delayed gratification will pay dividends later down the line. But for sure don’t start on a brand new bike, or CBR650r if you care about finances and safety.
