I want to move up to a bigger bike but don't have the money to invest in another bike right now. I was wondering, would a 1000rr engine fit in the frame of an '05 f4i.

...sorry if this is posted somewhere else but I couldn't find any posts.

Thanks

 

maybe if you push real hard it'll fit.

hey look new smiley!

 

what could possibly go wrong?

 

The general consensus is its much much much much easier and probably cheaper to just sell your f4i and buy a bigger bike. You can get a 929 or 954 for not much more than what youd sell your f4i for depending on its shape. So unless you want a serious winter project just enjoy your bike until you can afford the 1000 or sell yours and pick up a 929/954 over the winter for cheap. Youll be happier in the long run and save yourself 1000 headaches.

 

 

I've seen this same question asked of a local motorcycle guru whose specialty was building championship winning racebikes. his exact words "you can swap whatever motor you want, but it'll end up being a POS, a moneypit, and NEVER be as good as an actual upgrade" which basically means, it's much less expensive, and FAR easier to simply buy a 1000RR than to build a 1000F4i bastard child.

 

Bastard child....hahahahah
