BMW F 650 ST Strada (1999)

The BMW F 650 ST Strada is a street-oriented sibling to the F 650, boasting a more aggressive stance and riding dynamics. Under its sleek lines, the F 650 ST Strada packs a punchy four-stroke, single-cylinder engine with 4 valves per cylinder, revving up to deliver a thrilling riding experience.

The bike’s design is optimized for the urban jungle, with a lower seat height, quicker steering, and narrower handlebars that invite riders to tuck in and carve through city streets with confidence. The Metzeler street tires grip the asphalt with precision, while the lower windscreen slices through wind resistance at high speeds.

As a true dual-purpose bike, the F 650 ST Strada is ready to take on any road, with all the options available for the F 650 transferable to its sibling. With its punchy engine and agile handling, the F 650 ST Strada is the perfect companion for riders who crave the thrill of the road.
