I think any 1100 motor will work, whether it comes from a Bandit 1200, Katana 1100 or GSX1100R. The only one that I am aware that won't work is the GSX1100G shaft bike. All the motors have their minor pluses/minuses but in the end, it is all good.
There is (or was ) a site dedicated to these swaps called the 7/11 site, because of the people there who are fond of squeezing in 1100 motors into 750 bikes. There was great info there, even info on what carbs to use and the plus/minuses of different carbs/setups.
I suggest you try to find the site and if you do, there is a treasure of info to help you out.

One shop manager in my area told me that the 1100cc oil cooled motors in these command a high price because they are popular with sprint car racers, added that he has see examples of people buying perfectly good gixxser bikes just so that they could have the engine, scrapping the rest, very sad.
Go find the 7/11 site- I think they have the differences more clearly defined than what I have feebly done hear.

88 was the first year for the 1127. it was for the katana. the gixxer still used the 1052 in 88 and changed to the 1127 in 89. the only difference between the gixxer and katana 1127's in 89 was the crankshaft gear. on the katana it is an angled cut gear, and on the gixxer it was straight cut. kept stock one is no better than the other, but if you are modding the hp and starting to creep over 150hp, you want the straight cut gixxer crank as the katana crank is hard on the crank bearings.
Also, the gixxer ran slingshot carbs.
final results: katana was 136hp @ 9500 rpm, and the gixxer was 138hp @ 9000 rpm.
so, imho, those who are looking specifically for a gixxer motor over the katana motor...no advantage aside from 2hp. Unless you plan on rebuilding the engine to achieve over 150hp, one is just as good as the other.I don't have a short temper. I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.
