How much time and money do you have? If you have a lot of both, anything.

Make it a 5/11 conversion with a gsxr1100 engine. That sounds like the most logical option. I bet there's an old gs750 or 900 engine that will fit in there without too much work.

Buddha's done a GR650 Tempter into this frame. Requires some cutting.

Its been said before, but if you want to put a bigger motor in a GS the easy way is to replace everything except the gas cap from the donor bike. That way you have a strong enough frame, adequate brakes etc etc. and the only thing you have to work on is the gas cap. Plus it'll be cheaper.
