Description[]
Traditional BMW motorcycles usually have a flat twin engine with a longitudinal crank. However the air-and-oil cooled, 4-stroke, 4-valve, horizontally-opposed twin-cylinder, 1,170-cc overhead-cam engine in the new R Series reflects BMW's ambitious goal of boosting speed by reducing weight and increasing power to a degree beyond all previous models.
Given the Sport Touring "ST" designation, the R1200ST employs the BMW Motorrad Telelever suspension up front just like other R Series bikes to control the up-and-down motion of the body during acceleration. Behind this is the belief, popular among European motorcycle manufacturers, that a bike should convey a feeling of riding alone even when riding two-up. BMW then expanded on this by installing its Paralever rear suspension system with single-sided swing arm and single exhaust—a style common to both the R and K series.
BMW's original partial integral braking system, in which the front brake lever activates both front and rear brakes in synchronisation while the rear pedal operates only the rear, comes complete with ABS. A frame-mounted half fairing protects against the wind like a touring RT without interfering with manoeuvrability, while two horizontally placed hexagonal reflector-type headlamps emphasise the ST's strong individual styling.
Representing a fundamental departure from BMW's conventional method of construction, and unlike any R Series model before it, the R1200ST's tubular frame has an appropriately balanced rigidity that only that type of frame could offer, with a low centre of gravity that lets the rider feel the road during cornering.
In addition to safety and comfort, BMW also built the R1200ST's powertrain for excitement, something that's clearly felt as soon as you get on the bike. Not only is power improved, but acceleration in the high range is also sharper and the thrust gained from throttling up has improved throughout the ranges. The R1200ST is a truly magnificent machine that's the fastest of the R series.
