I'm not going to argue with you, I'm just repeating what I've been told by Special K who built several machines with the B12 motors.

I wasnt arguing at all. I was actually reiterating your statement. The B12 motors can be tuned to produce gobs of power, but right off the bat the 1127 is already a high horsepower machine.

Bandit 1200 98 hp (72 kW) @ 8,500 rpm http://www.suzukicycles.org/Bandit-s...0-Bandit.shtml
The oil cooled GSXR made 145 hp @ 10,000 rpm http://www.suzukicycles.org/1990-1999/1992a.shtml

I thought you weren't argueing.

lol,lmao... well, i seem to be able to find b12 engines easier... So I will stick with that.. Thanks for all the info... quite sure more will follow...

There's always the frankenkat option too... mix a B12 bottom with higher compression pistons / big bore kit (or both) and a pre-750 slingshot head with GSXR cams...



I've always liked the mix and match options myself... That's how I built the engines for my cars during my Honda tuner days.

I think Im gonna call my bike the Bantana, but the wife thinks it sounds like a bad mexican dessert.

Sounds too much like "bandanna" or "banana"

All the fun is down low and in the mid.
Do it, put a pipe on it and see if you can keep the front end down.

I've been told that high compression pistons together with the dot head (88-89 GSXR or pre kat 750) will wind you up with compression that only race-gas could love. It makes sense. The 750 head only has something like 22cc combustion chambers. Add that to pistons that would make 13:1 on the bandit head, and you'll be squarely in the alcohol/race gas territory.

13:1

The highest pump octane you can get around here is 94 octane unless you're around a track.

I'd rather go the 1216 route mixed with the dot head. If something lets go in the bottom end or transmission of my slingshot engine... I'm going to acquire a B12, 1216 kit, and slap my 750 dot head on.

How do you know which head you have? Ive got an S1 head on my 750, should I put that on my B12?

[steves]

I don't think it's the head that makes the difference, it's the cams in the head.

I know they are S1, S2, and S3... but I can't remember which is which. ThazKat knows.
