Buell Blast 500 VS Honda Nighthawk 250??

Question

I am getting my first motorcycle very soon and deciding between a Blast or Nighthawk.

I'm just very confused because Blast has more power having 500 cc, however single cylindered which will heat up faster and stress the motor more than V-twin 250.

My primary use for my first bike would be commuting from street to highways.

Here are some Pros and Cons I Found:

Nighthawk:

Pros- 250cc twin-cylinder, $1000 cheaper than blast

Cons- Max speed @ 60mph, small engine size

Blast:

Pros-Big engine, more stylish, handles highway, more man-ish

Cons- Single cylindered, reliability, $1000 more than honda

so on..

Which do YOU suggest is better?
