and about the 240....ka24 or planning an sr20? you'll find that the bike is much more cost effective(gets better mileage and more ladies lol)
i was looking for a 5.0 mustang for street and strip when i decided 2 buy my savage....the sad thing is i paid the same amount for the whole bike as a rebuilt tranny for a stang costs! PLUS i'll retain my license by not racing @ every stop light...AND i think bikes are cooler anyways...any idiot can steer a car
you'll know which u like better if when driving your car u feel like you're simply "going somewhere" as opposed 2 riding and feeling the way the bike makes u feel!!
Surprised anyone on the board would recognize the 240, but funny you ask which motor was going in it haha. I just sold my SR20DET to get money to purchase my bike
Best choice I have made yet.
I'm going to drop in a KA24DE then rebuild and turbo it with a GT35R, should have 400whp on low boost
Good choice on ditching the Stang and buying an S40. It's so much more fun riding on my bike than driving a car.

I'm looking for a good deal on an s40 currently. I just passed my motorcycle safety course so I'm getting my moto license Tuesday.
I might go flat black too but after seeing some bikes on here I'm getting inspired to do something different.
Enjoy the bike but be safe above all else!
Congrats on passing the course! I plan on taking it as soon as I can afford it, I'm currently driving with a permit but I am insured. I'm open on ideas for colors, flat black seems safe and looks good if you paint it good and not do a poopy job.
I thought the s40 would have a gas warning light but it doesn't and I found out the hard way
Yeah the course was pretty easy. I'm sure you'll ace it since you've been riding already. I came into it having only ridden a 100cc dirt bike like 4 years ago. And had no real problem passing any of it. I had an awesome RiderCoach which really helps.
Didnt notice what state you were in but for me it was 100 bucks. But learning potentially life-saving tips and not having to deal with the DMV other than to 'look here and smile' was well worth it. Plus it pays for itself by cheapening up your motorcycle insurance.
There may also be a pretty long waiting list depending on your state. I'm in the mid atlantic region and I know it takes months for some people to get into the Maryland courses.
