I'm considering on getting a Blast to be my first bike. It's a little bit more pricier than the Nighthawk and Ninja but is more stylish than the Nighthawk and has a larger engine than the Ninja.

The seating position appeals to me a lot and it looks like I could add a lot of features to it if I wanted to.

Also, being that I'm new to all of this, Buells are purchased at Harley Davidson dealerships right?

Also when I save up a bit more cash, the gear I plan on buying are. Gloves and boots by alpinestars. A jacket by icon or alpinestars. Would you recommend body armor? And for the helmet I plan on buying a Scorpion Exo.

I'll be riding around in an suburban area, westchester county, 20 minutes from New York city. There are many SUV's around here which are my main turn off for buying a bike right now being that I'm only 19 years old. I also need to look into the right insurance to purchase.

But............ Buell definitely is my number one choice. As well for any other style of riding I'd go with KTM. My main turn on for buying a bike is because it's kick ass and I want to be a part of the motorcycle family. =]
 
If you're going to buy new then definitely go with the Ninja 250. If you can find an 08 at a dealership I'd go with that.

The 250's are always in high demand as there's always new riders looking for a bike and people like the styling of the 08+.

Thus, the 250 has a better resale value. You can probably sell it next year for about $200-$300 less than you paid for it.
 
You can't go wrong with the Ninja 250. The price will be much less than the Blast and you will find the long term costs are much lower on the Ninja.
