Yamaha YZF750R your thoughts?

I'm told a 1000 Exup or Thunderace motor will fit with very little work, though I haven't seen it done myself.

If Flitwick Motorcycles can fit an R1 engine into an R7 less than a week after they were released, then I'm sure anything's possible.

And I thought you said you wouldn't have a bike like that again because you had no self-control and you'd probably kill yourself or something...

It is possible, it's been done many times (with the Exup thou). And your right, it is not especially difficult.

Yes, but you knew that already.

Because it can be done.

seem's a waste of a bike.

The thou in question was a lardy old bus even at the time. Nothing like the thous of today, which are evolved from the overgrown 750s that were the Fireblade and, later, R1.

Back then the 7/10 or 7/11 conversion made far more sense because there was nothing of that ilk coming out of the factory.

Yamaha used to own Ohlins, it's now back in the original owner's hands. At the time the YZF750 got 'Ohlins' suspenders it was Yamaha owned though.
