I had this dilema a while back - re-build engine for more power - or change bikes to one that had the power i wanted.

After looking at costs for re-build + insurance hike for modifications it was more cost effective to sell the 1991 CBR1000F and buy a 1997 Blackbird.

Was looking for a bit more power too recently so bought a blackbird last week. As Nutter said it wasn't the quantum leap in power i thought it would be. Still very happy with the bird, smooth, quiet and fast and handles a little better too. Not selling the 1kf though. Will get some pics up when ive cleaned it, was pissing down when i collected it.
