What type of lock should I get?

I am a real newbie, and I just got my first bike, a Kawasaki Ninja 500. I live in New York and I was wondering if anybody has any suggestion as to what type of lock I should get. I was thinking the benefit of a disc lock would be that it is small (and cheaper, and dollar for dollar harder to break). But with a corded lock I can tie it to an "immovable" object. But from people's experience, which has served them better in the long run? Thanks in advance.

personally, i would go with the brake lock. to me, it seems a lot easier to get through a cable lock, when there is all that slack to deal with. the brake locks are small and tight to the bike, making it harder to break them. having said that though, without locking it to something immobile, it makes it easier for the bike to "walk". i know people that have seen vans pull up at rallies and watch four guys get out, pick up a bike and throw it in the back of the van. and where talking about 700 pound harleys ! if you can, do both, you can never be too secure.

well that is the ultimate lock, or remington, mossberg, marlin, winchester, glock, and so on and so forth. i figured that was his primary deterrent, since he lives in NY ! sorry, had to say it.
