well, with time and patients, its possible. You would have to research how the swing arm bolts up to the R6 or 1 vs. how its mounted on the 250r. then comes the bolt diameter and length. Im sure you're gonna have to get/make spacers for the fitment. next, you gonna have to measure and make sure the sprockets gonna line up so the chain gets lined up as well. of course you gonna have to get the rim and tire to go with the swing arm. next is the shock. luckily it should be a simple bolt on. check my DIY for my R1 shock swap for info on mating the R1 shock to the 250r subframe. how comes the handling. with a 180 rear tire, you gonna lose a little performance on the 250r. the 250r was designed to be optimal with a 130 rear tire. im running a 140 and haven't experienced a loss in performance, though.
EDIT: hell yeah, its gonna be sweet!
