I've got to say, those buells were daaaaaaaaamn sexy
I've got ZERO riding experience, so I'd also be learning on this bike....but I don't want to buy a seperate bike for learning, then once getting the hang of it start wanting another better one...I'd rather get the better bike the first time and take my time learning
Does that make any sense?

thats a bad idea, your much better off learning on a smaller bike first, geting your riding skills up, and then geting a bigger bike. you can pick up something like a ninja 250 or yammah seca II for real cheap used(were talking 2-3k). learn on it for a season or two, or however long it takes you to feel really confident, then sell it(you will prob get about what you payed for it if you buy used, bikes depreciate to a certin point and generaly stay there) and get what you really want. if you insist on geting a buell as your first bike get somthing like the buell blast, the lightning is around 900ccs and the fireball is 1200, thats too much bike for a new rider with no experiance. also cheack out the ducati monster 600. i really recomend that you dont buy new though, new bikes are expensive toys, its not cheap to insure one and its def not cheap to repair it if you end up droping it. if your really serious about geting a bike do some homework beforehand. def make sure you take an MSF course, dont skimp on the protective gear, that means a full faced helmet, gloves, boots, and somesort of body covering, full leather is the best because its the most abrasive resitant, but the other ones are a bit cooler on those hot days so its up to you. def cheack out this site though, lots of good advice and recomendations.....
