hello everybody. while reading various posts by BMW bike owners especially the K bikes, so many owners state that the K75 and K100 engines last for a very longtime. question is: have these engines had the nikasil treatment?

Yes, all k75 and k100s have nikasil coated cylinders.  They last nearly forever but would be difficult to rebore!
