there is no point in swapping in a gsxr 600 motor for more power. if it is more power your looking for in a 600 kat check out the install larger engine thread.
other than that if your wantin more power get a sportier bike, not a sport TOURER lol1992- project katfighter

throwing in a larger engine will not make a kat a drag bike, sure you can drag race any bike. kats are completely street drivable with large engines (didnt you say you have an 1100?? then you already know this) i was simply sayin if you were wanting more horsepower that would be the best way to do it.
and along the lines of what coreo19 posted, the pre kat 600 engine is basically a detuned gsxr 600 engine, so there is no point in swappin a motor for that, just set it up with the proper gsxr cams and bam... gsxr 600 with a much heavier frame lol.
but minus swappin in a larger motor your best bet will be a good aftermarket exhaust, ign advancer, gsxr cams, jet kit, an if you dont mind the headache you could throw k&n filters on although most here advise against it due to the fact they can be a pia to tune. with all this you still wont have much in the way of horsepower. if its quicker acceleration your after, the quickest cheapest way would be to get a larger rear sprocket, but that will also lower your top speed.
if i miss something in the way of mods im sure someone will chime in, its been a long night of workin on the kat for me.
goodluck

got with a Hindle or yoshi exhaust, full exhaust 2into 1
GSXR cams 91-92
factory pro jet kit
ignition advancer
dynotec ignition coils NGK wires and iridium plugs
you can find a few things to lighten it up a bit as well along with the 2into 1 exhaust it will be a lot lighter.
you may want to mess with the gearing a bit to98 GSX750F

They just don't make power. If you keep an eye out you can find 750 engines for $300-400 and that will start you off with more than you could ever get from the 600.1992- project katfighter
