I have bought one of these for my K100 and it works great (I did think a bit too cheap). It also starts my goldwing with the lights on, might be worth a try, will see how long it lasts.

I had one of these in my K for 6 months, it did the job but the terminals are wrong. It's also a little bit small so I had to shim the battery/water tank hold down plate with a bit of wood to stop it all moving about.

After that I replaced it with a Fulbat 51913 and that has been perfect, in both performance and fit. Though on a cold day it can struggle to set the ABS. The Powerline lives on in my R1100GS, still holding charge and working just fine a year later.

Note that BMW recently changed its retail prices on batteries. The Exide 12-19 AGM battery with the BMW stamp on it is sold around 80€. I paid mine 66€ with the good friend usual discount.
And I'm sure that these batteries are periodically charged when stored on the shelf before sale...Websites betteries are not.
