Raptor 660 has the most room.

I'd say that the real question would be "What do you intend to do with this ATV?". Your frame should be indicative of purpose. Quad-Maniac is right that the raptor will oblige you more room, however, motorcyle engine quads are usually single purpose quads (almost always dragsters) and major frame mods will be required regardless of what you start with.

If you're looking to make this into a multi-purpose vehicle, you might consider an enclosed frame. Motorcycle engine single seat sand cars are awesome!

Absolutely! I have a single seater with a CBR600R motor. It IS a blast! Much more fun than my 1776 turbo'd 2 seater. But, I still prefer quadding... just more freedom, i guess.

I've sen a few DS 650's With Busa engines.That frame should give plenty of room for a 1000

I would think that the DS 650 frame would be the best starting point for a quad based 1 liter ATV. If you're thinking of single seater, or side by side vehicles, then take a look at this Rhino riding wheelies on the pavement with its street bike motor.

Or how about this R1 powered Rhino beating a Banshee in a sand drag.

No offense but if you have to ask that question then you probably aren't going to be able to pull this off. Nothing will come close to bolting up, and most of the time it requires modifications to the actual frame. If everything isn't done perfectly, with the motor in just the right position for the chain to line up, it'll be nothing but trouble. You'll also need to replace the entire wiring harness and electrical components from whatever bike you get the motor from.
