BMW R 1200ST (2005)

The BMW R 1200ST is a force to be reckoned with, its sleek and sporty design slicing through the wind like a hot knife through butter. The horizontally opposed Boxer engine, with its 4 valves per cylinder, is a masterclass in balance and smoothness, delivering a thrilling riding experience that’s equal parts comfort and excitement.

The ST’s rakish bodywork is a testament to BMW’s dedication to creating a machine that’s both beautiful and functional. Twin stacked headlights lead the way, while a pointed lower fairing channels cooling air to the engine-oil cooler, keeping the Boxer running cool and sweet.

Behind the fairing, the rider is cocooned in a comfortable and sporty position, with adjustable clip-on handlebars set into an ideal ergonomic stance. The sporty ergonomics offer maximum control and comfort for high-speed and long-distance touring, making the R 1200ST the perfect companion for any rider who demands the best.
