Well the main reason you can't swap engines is that the swingarm is bolted directly to the engine block... No lower frame... Keeps the VTR slimlined but the downside is that another engine won't fit... Swap the engine and you are building another bike...

actually the main problem is the engine mounts are different.

sp2 swingarm bolts up just fine to superhawk motor.

Yeah, and then you do a fork swap. The VTR forks will bolt right up to an SP-1.
