Looking for suggestions on an engine that meets the below, or at least most of them!

Vtwin (metric of course)
Liquid cooled
Chain drive
electric start
prefer EFI
750cc +

Suggestions?

Night Vision

1998 ish Honda Shadow meets most of them (except EFI)

I was going to suggest SV650 engine but that one is, well, a 650.  Maybe an SV1000?

Ah, such fun to be out riding...
*thunk*
What was that?!

'82 Yamaha Vision XZ550RJ
'07 Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 Mean Streak Special Edition (VN1600B)

VTR1000, SV1000, TL1000 are all nice motors. VFR800 is a good V4.
Every tool is a hammer, except screwdrivers, those are chisels.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.  I'm wanting to build a reverse trike with some performance. So really, output would matter more than size for me.  Looks like that SV650 would be a nice motor and the 100 even better!
