I would love to hear anyone's input on if they think a project using the pistons mentioned above is feasible.

Could the case of an 1198 be bored that much? What about an 1198 cylinder?

Would be a sick motor, thats for sure!

I have had the same thoughts! But I think it is a big project due to the 6mm bigger pistons. The cylinderskirts will disapear or almost, you have to manufactor billet cylinders. Pinbolts are very close to cylinderskirt so they need a new wider place on case. Then wont the heads fit on pinbolts and so on,,,
But I dont think its impossible!

Edit! Take a look at this! http://www.ducati.ms/forums/56-superbikes/149755-1098-big-bore-project.html
