"Related" parameter in infobox

The "related" parameter is used for bikes which are related because they are made by the same manufacturer and use the same engine e.g. Yamaha FZR100 and R1, Suzuki Hayabusa and B-King; or they are made by different manufacturers but use the same frame and/or engine e.g. BMW F650GS and Aprilia Pegaso.

There used to be a "similar" parameter but it was removed as it was deemed to be unencyclopaedic.

What you could do, which would really add value to articles, is provide examples of comparisons between different models that are published in bike magazines - providing a suitable citation of course. If you need any help in doing this just ask, I would be very happy to oblige. For an example, see BMW K1200R which provides a good example of a comparison and citation from RiDE magazine.

Keep up the good work! --TimTay (talk) 15:59, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Renaming pages is easy - just move them

When you are on a page you will see "move" in the tabs above the page. Simply click this tab and it will allow you to move/rename the page. I just did this on your behalf for Kawasaki ZXR400, but it really couldn't be simpler. --TimTay (talk) 19:21, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
