Talk:BMW K100

Is This an Article?

Does the BMW K75 or BMW K100 justify a separate article? I would say no -- and would recommend that the K75 and K100 (and whatever else may apply) be moved to the BMW motorcycles article in the K Series section. (Wiki writer 22:08, 17 June 2006 (UTC))

• Well I guess there are other specific bmw motorcycles where this has been done. Perhaps a peeve of mine, or maybe a misunderstanding, about Wikipedia -- that is, when a key component of an article gets separated into a separate article, vs. including it in a well organized (sectioned) main article. I have seen complaints of articles being too long -- but I have yet to understand how long an article has to get to be called too long.

• Perhaps a goal is to edit the main article to better reflect the link and transition (almost seamlessly) to the splinter article. (Wiki writer 16:06, 3 July 2006 (UTC))

New structure

Hi there - Just found this article for the first time and having done some basic formatting like adding a first line, I went ahead and put a rudimentary structure in place - It's not ideal and hopefully people will adjust it and improve it, but it puts the foundations in place to make a tidier article.

Someone make a correction, the K100 initally came with Bosch LE-Jetronic electronic fuel management, not Motronic although later bikes/models did use Motronic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.192.208.52 (talk) 01:45, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

<discussion> The more I read about the BMW K75, the more I get the impression that, while the K75's engine is a three-cylinder engine developed from the K100 engine, the K75 motorcycle is just the K100 motorcycle with the K75 engine installed in place of the K100 engine. As such, I propose that the K75 article be merged into the K100 article, with the K75 being treated as a variant of the K100.

The development of the K75 engine, the introduction and discontinuation of the K75, and information on the models offered would probably be the most important information to be carried across or included. The concept of the K75, and the features other than the engine and the parts that differ between the models, would already be covered in the K100 article.

- As an owner of the K75 for 7 years I agree and think as time passes it is a good idea to consolidate information rather than have it spread out all over. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrbios (talk • contribs) 00:24, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Split BMW K75

I propose to restore this version https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=BMW_K75&oldid=642362370 of the page and division the K75 to like do other wiki, because isn't the same motorbike and have some many peculiar characteristic and technical specific. Some many notable sources talking about this bike [23][24][25]. If will be opposite, do the restoring. 5.90.238.254 (talk) 16:02, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
