Will be very dificult but give it a go. Anything is possible with a bit of cutting and welding, may need special front spocket too. Be interesting though, if i'm gonna have a 727cc motor for next season maybe a 180 tyre be better!
Maybe an r1 or cbr600rr be easier due to the underseat pipe making the swing arm narrower at the front ;)

Measure the length from swingarm pivot to wheel spindle .... it will probably be longer which will slow the handling a bit ... maybe.
