Can I stick a bigger engine in my bike?

Shoehorned a GSX1100 engine into a GSX 750 a few years back. Went well.

And here I am throwing money at my recalcitrant 250 lump...

Yeah, and as you said, the chassis isn't really designed for that much grunt.

Which is actually relevant to the thread -- is the bike going to still handle and be as beautifully balanced with a bigger lump it wasn't designed for?
