With a larger engine you'll probably be dealing with more weight and more inertial forces. So you might gain straight-line speed and lose handling and braking.

Personally, I wouldn't trade handling and braking capability for more straight-line speed.

I think that is texting shorthand.

Look in projects. I thin that swap has been made. What's wrong with the 750 engine ?

Is that what it is that the kids (15-25ish) are doing when you pull up next to them at every stop light?

A recent survey showed that 75% of texts sent while driving are of people age 40 and over.

I'll make it simple: I do not believe you. Here's why (see below). If you are serious; please provide a link to that survey. Ed

Wow .....reading this post has been quite the red herring :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Anywho...to answer the original question....all KZ 1000 motors are pretty strong, they all have their little foibles but the most important thing is that they all need lots of care. They after all 30 plus years old. None of them are super fast out of the box as it seems you are after but with money they can be made quite fast....then they need even more care. I have a feeling you should be looking at a more modern performance bike but I could be wrong, either way good luck. Sorry I do not know much about the bike you have to answer the points question.
