Anything is possoble (has been done before) but two much work. The guy that did it a few years says he would not attempt to do it again.

Buy a second hand engine or if you want a bigger engined bike sell the 650 either in bits the as or complete and buy anotherbike (SV100 maybe) .

You'd probably make a few quid selling all the spares (if you can be bothered breaking your bike yourself, photographing it all & posting them all as spares on eBay...)

well the bike is already stripped into a million parts but i still own money on the loan so i dont want to part it out yet i have to put it back together and i can put a stock motor in it but i fiugred that if i had to spend the money on a new motor might as well get the biggest one in there i can.. i found a web site that has a motor mount conversion to go from a 650 to a tl1000 motor but it dosent say what kinda mods are involved

A website y'say? CAn you give me the link so we can have a look.

There was a stunt bike featured in SF mag that had a TL1000 shoehorned into a sv650 frame. Basically it'll involve removing everything between the side rails and creating a new brace/mount for the new engine. Serious graft and not something I'd do myself.

Why not just get a crashed SV650 off Ebay and use the engine from that? There was only available on there the other day.

Cos he wants a 120bhp motor at a guess

Well, it's a job for the skilled and the brave but it'd be a laugh.
