i havent really read this thread but....
i rode my buddies 09 ninja 250 around this weekend for about 50 miles and boi did it suck
1.trottle response horrible
2.felt like i was riding a moped
3.riding while sitting staight up is weird(i like the attack position r f4i's have)
4.this was a brand new ex250 and it felt like at any moment it could fall apart
and my buddy bought his off show room florr not a mile on her for $3500 so at least in my area you got a bad deal ....sorry but true

Honestly, when you are looking at the blast vs the ninja 250, you've kind of got it backwards. The Ninja 250 is a more powerful (in HP) bike with a higher top speed and quarter mile time. It is probably a bike that would 'grow' with your skill set more than the Blast.
I think it is all kind of a moot point anyway, as if you have a blast, ride it until you are ready to move on. But if someone had an ultimate goal of getting something like and F4i or RR, and they were going to buy either a ninja 250 or a blast, I'd recommend them the 250, as it will seem more natural going from a high-revving 250 to the F4i than from a low revving blast to the F4i.
You shouldn't have any problems, but after riding a blast for a while and getting used to the 6500 rpm redline, it might take you a while to discover that on something like the F4i, 6500 rpm is just about where the fun starts
