    No it would at the very least require A LOT of special tweaking and may not even fit at all. Other than their names these bikes share NOTHING in common. Since '99 the bike has gone through about 5 generations and is changed to some extent almost every year. Race replicas evolve so rapidly that after 2 or 3 years they are completely obsolete and antiquated. Bearing that in mind stuffing an '08 engine in a '99 frame would be like putting a Ford GT engine into Ford Pinto.

    youre smoking crack again arnt you? lmao...this has got to be the DUMBEST question of 2008 to hit us yet. why in gods name first of all,would ANYONE want to put a 2008 motor in a 99 frame? i doubt the 99 frame would take it anyway, yet stand up to the power over time. ida know. secondly, if youve access to a 2008 gixxer 1000 then wtf are you smoking pondering the question if it fits in a 99 frame to begin with? makes no sense,other than a wrecked 2008,with im figuring if you cant afford a newer bike than a 99, then you couldnt afford the 2008 motor alone.

    I just cant make sense of this......its clear youre not serious, no one in their right mind would want to. get rid of the dinosuar and step into the new year with a complete bike, motor and all.

    First of all.... Take lil' bro-in-law out to the garage and slam his head into the fuel tank and say these words....."YOU RETARD!!!, NO IT WILL NOT FIT!!!!"

    When your done and he is laying on the ground holding his bruised and swollen head go back inside and get a dress and a wig and tell him to put it on with some platform heels and take him to the store and buy you a pepsi.
