      no just the engine itself. Are the lower parts common and a top end swap possible on this generation of bike?

        If it isn't going to make it faster or safer it isn't worth doing

            The GS750E 16V is a much different motor than the GS1100E 16V even though they appear to be very similar.

            Not sure much is interchangeable other than a short list:

            some covers
            exhaust cams (are the same).

            bottom ends are totally different even though they look the same.

            not sure if a head will swap but they are definitely different.

            As mentioned check the bottom of the block for 1074cc or 1075cc (forget which).

            The other tell tail for 7/11 swaps is you have to change the motor mount brackets below the crank. (a better picture you might be able to deduce that).
