You can bore it to take SUZUKI Bandit 1200 pistons. (which are forged, stronger than cast pistons)
The larger bore sizes probably need new cylinder liners and the crank cases bored out so it gets expensive fast. (would be cheaper to buy a newer bike than do mods-unless you can get machining done free and are a good engine builder)
The 1250 is a new engine (water cooled) so its probably not feasible to use those pistons.
