This may be a dumb question...but

Yeah these 7/11 or 7/12 conversions are popular for streetfighters which are mostly (if I'm not mistaken) more about going quick in a straight line than anything else (oh..and looking cool of course). Everytone to his own, so no problem with that, but I'd be worried about the real-world useability of a GSXR750 with an 1100 donk in it. Quite a bit of extra HP (30-odd?) and those slab sider GSXR750s were pretty minimally engineered so I don't how how they handle the extra stresses associated with putting the extra HP down on the tarmac. The risk I guess is that you end up with a pretty unmanageable bike unless you invest in other stuff like frame and swingarm bracing, etc etc. Why not just go for an 1100 and if you want more bang spend the dough on cams, porting etc. Or am I missing the point?

Hey thanks for your informative input...where is the best place to find a motor though? And do you know a rough price for a good one?

You can also widen your search to a GSX1100F engine or even a bandit 1200 motor - same motor but tuned for more bottom grunt (read FUN)
