No connection to me...but I think it is interesting.

There's probably more than 5 of them still running. Luftmeister did roughly 100 turbo K100s.

What's much rarer is a K75 turbo (like mine) since most people opted to turbo the 4 cylinder bike when spending all of that money. The bad thing about the K75 turbo is that the K75S fairing didn't accommodate the turbo whereas the K100RS fairing did.

I bet it's interesting when you light the wick.

The turbo kicks in a little over 4000 RPM which is fun but it's also got Luftmesister "high performance" cams so it has better torque in the low end too.

Once I was riding up a long hill next to a stranger riding an R1100. Just for the hell of it I knocked it down into 4th and hit the turbo. He's probably still trying to figure out how a K75 could go that fast. LOL.
