the R1's a 1000cc engine, the busa engines a 1300cc, im 90% sure any motor bike engine can be used as long as its gona be powerfull enough to move a mini shell!!!

Yamaha r1s and the hayabusa are water cooled which makes life easy compared to air cooled engines.
In my opinion the r1 and hayabusa are more reliable than the likes of honda blackbird and the zx12.

There is also the GSXR1000 engine which is a bit more powerful than R1 but they cost quite a bit more...

Has anyone tried a V twin like a honda vtr1000 or a harley twin would be fun for some torque and sound nice.

Im glad i have inspired you, Get up to z-cars for a demo, you wont look back, they will of course fit any power plant you wish to power your mini.
Cheers
