Wouldn't hurt to have a nice boost in torque/horsepower either from the extra displacement.
The motor is an easy swap between the 1000 and the 850. Check out this thread: http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...t=gs850+gs1000

That's true. I just thought of a pretty awesome idea: The world's most insane road trip. I'd take my Honda Hawk GT650 all the way to NY, pick up the engine and strap it to the back seat of the Hawk and ride all the way home. I could just pretend it was a 300lb dead body. I'd save approximately $40 compared to shipping if I camped the whole time and ate nothing, and the bike would be wheelieing constantly.
Ok so maybe that's not the smartest idea, but it's still awesome.

For about $300 it looks like I could have that whole swap. That's awfully tempting, even with my 850 engine running fine (minus the base and head gasket oil leaks).

Mocked up the '89 GSXR 1100 4 into 2 into 1 exhaust on the bike to see the difference in ground clearance between it and the old Vance and Hines 4 into 1. It's huge.
The exhaust port spacing is perfect.
Check out the before and after as compared to the old V&H. The 4 into 2 into 1 hugs the frame nice and tightly on the underside where it counts; the 4 into 1 would be scraping the deck. Keep in mind the bike is on its centerstand in the pics.
Before:
After:
To get this clearance, the top of the GSXR header will need to be cut off to suit the length of the motor. Also, the collars and flanges from the old exhaust will probably have to be used to mount the GSXR header.
As it is right now for optimum ground clearance, which shows how it has to be cut:
