BMW F 650 ST Strada (2000)

The BMW F 650 ST Strada is a masterclass in nuanced design, marrying the ruggedness of an off-road capable single-cylinder engine with the refinement of a road-biased chassis.

Its 652cc four-stroke DOHC heart beats with a unique character, providing a smooth and tractable delivery that makes it equally at home on twisty mountain roads as it is on the highway.

With a lower seat height and quicker steering courtesy of its 18-inch front rim, the F 650 ST Strada is perfectly positioned for urban commuting and spirited touring, while its Metzeler street tires ensure grip and control in all conditions.

From the more aggressive riding position afforded by its narrower handlebars to the reduced wind buffeting provided by its lower windscreen, every detail of the F 650 ST Strada has been carefully calibrated to deliver an exhilarating riding experience that’s as enjoyable on a daily basis as it is on a long-distance adventure.
