I own a 99 R1 and a well-modded Fazer 1000. The R1 engine is a beauty, one of the best stock motors ever. It's a shame Yamaha couldn't fit it into the Fazer frame because the way it delivers both low down torque and peak power up top is a delight.
It's probably because the R1 chassis is about 30kgs lighter than the Fazer but the way it responds to the throttle is so much more engaging. A brilliant road engine, IMHO. No EFI, no electronics to control crazy peak power, just strong and linear shove everywhere.
Like Luke said, if it could be done, we'd have both done it by now.
