hey man, i hear what you're saying about not "liking" the KA, but my question to you is WHY? i've been in the 240 game for a pretty long time, and now i'm done, but in all fairness, it really doesn't matter what route you go with motor choices, it's really about how long your money is. there's kids who get into 240's, and the first thing is "i want an sr...a rb...a ca...ka's aren't shit" they go spend a grip on getting one of those motors...spin a bearing...blow rings...whatever, and just don't have the money to reach their HP goals. i personally went KA-T. the motors are a dime a dozen...and it was way softer on my pockets...not to mention...it was still pretty damn fast. there's dudes out there with KA's destroying SR's and vice versa...it's just about the length of your money. just a little food for though
