ORIGINAL: tuffduff83

every body says that but I am a 200 plus rider and it just doesn't have the uhh that i want and I was wondering if any body new any good tech sites that i could find out if it is even possible to do this mod?
Power to weight ishugh especialy comin down to smaller displacement bikes.It's proabably not even worthda moneyto shoehorn a 1KRR engine in a 6RR chassis. Either lighten up UR 6RRor get a litre bike.

Lose some weight and learn how to ride or buy the 1000.

There's one major concern I have with throwing a 1000 motor onto a 600 chassis......

The frame, suspension and ALL components bolted to it were specifically designed for the 600 engine alone. Which means all components were designed to handle the 600cc power output. By throwing in an extremely potent 1000cc engine onto a chassis that was never designed to cope with that kind of power load, you might run into some major, unsafe problems.

Kind of like dropping a Ferrari V12 into a Dodge Neon.........that chassis wouldn't know WTF to do with it.

Blue Fox, Do you know how much power the American Honda FX bike made compared to the stock 1krr motor? I read an article that said that the didn't even push the limits. They left a lot on the table. I just wished I had that article right now.

Get a 1000. A 600RR isn't like a 68 Nova that you can just drop a big block into. No matter what you do, you will always have an inferior product as compared to a fully engineered 1000RR. You will spend good money on top of bad and in the end, if it does work, all you will have is a unique motorcycle that isn't as good as either a 600RR or a 1000RR. It sounds like you have a very nice bike already (post pics) and have done everything top notch so don't 'F' it up.

Just get somebig-asssprockets and race your buddies only up to 120mph, anything faster than that on the streetis really just crazy anyway.

I think a Turbo with a built 600 would be a better option. And I've seen some turbos hidden well.

Later on down the line I'd like to get a F4i motor and transfer it to my F3. Then turbo the F4i motor on top of boring it out. But that's way down the road for me. And I know it'd be cheaper to get an F4i but I have a thing for "Sleepers". My dream vehicle is a V8 S10.

Learn to launch well and if you race say an 1/8th you can beat a litre. One buddy of mine has an F4i that is ragged out. But he has crazy riding skills. I've seen him race GSXR750s and Litres to not only beat them but embaress them. Even in the 1/4 the 600s aren't too far behind the litres. Where you see a real difference in a litre is when you start a race from a 100mph roll.

Plus when he gets to the mountains with the Litres he just checks out on them. Except for those crazy ***** on the Dual Sports who slide on the inside of 600s in the twisties.

Like was said-your bike is not like an old car the you can just drop any engine into it. You would be much better of to just sell your bike and get a 1K if you want one so bad, plus you know the bike is going to function correctly.
