RF900 Suzuki-GSXR1100 engine swap ?

[zuke1150]

Hello from USA. For years I have been trying to find out if any GSXR1100 motor will bolt into a RF900 Suzuki? Thanx in advance, peace, lenny Less

As far as I was aware the water cooled GSXR engines from '93 to '95 were the exact same engine shape and size:

The RF9 bottom end is the same as watercooled Gixers but it has a downdraft head, I had this discussion with Deano recently & we could see no reason why you couldn't bolt a RF head onto an 11 bottom end or vice versa - in fact I don't understand why there aren't RF headed WC 11s everywhere. [?]

because you would have to use the rf9 frame and look at it is a fucking ugly bike.

The seat area on that yellow RF looks mighty small.

Bit harsh there Deano,that yellow RF is a bit too understated ;) but I reckon they're a good looking frame myself.
Then again I think the same about R1's.
