The BMW R 1200 ST is a half-faired motorcycle from the BMW brand with a two-cylinder boxer engine . The sports tourer was presented on December 2, 2004 at the Bologna Motor Show and manufactured at the BMW plant in Berlin until 2007 . The sales start was on March 12, 2005. The R 1200 ST was positioned between the R 1200 RT touring bike and the R 1200 R roadster . The abbreviation ST stands for S port T ouring.
General
The design was controversial among motorcyclists, especially the front with "the double headlights arranged one above the other and framed with a conspicuous frame" was not very popular.
drive
The air and oil-cooled boxer engine is installed lengthways and generates a nominal output of 81 kW (110 hp) at a speed of 8250 min −1 and a torque of 112 Nm at 6800 min −1 from two cylinders with a displacement of 1170 cm³ . Each cylinder head has a chain-driven camshaft which controls two intake and two exhaust valves via rocker arms. The two cylinders have a Ø 101 mm bore , the pistons have a stroke of 73 mm with a compression ratio of 12: 1. The four-stroke engine has a digital engine management (BMS-K) and a wet sump pressure circulation lubrication.
The motorcycle accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 230 km / h.
Fuel supply
The fuel is injected electronically via the intake manifold and supported by an overrun fuel cutoff . Each cylinder is ignited by two transistor-controlled spark plugs. The average fuel consumption is 5.1 liters per 100 km at a speed of 120 km / h. The fuel tank has a volume of 21 liters, of which 4 liters are in reserve. The manufacturer recommends using unleaded petrol with a knock resistance of at least 95 octane . The exhaust aftertreatment is carried out by a regulated three-way catalytic converter and complies with the limits of the Euro-3 emissions standard .
Reviews
“The successor to the R 1150 RS shocks with a front that is a wild mixture of Gothic church window and science fiction decoration. But let's get it first: What looks like a Klingon hospital elevator offers very tangible advantages: The H4 double headlights shine splendidly at night, the wind protection for the upper body is excellent thanks to the half-shell cladding, which is cut tightly at the top and quite bulbous in the middle. "
“The BMW R 1200 ST no longer fits into the old BMW categories. The new design already shows new ways. It is not just the successor to the R 1150 RS. It combines great touring qualities with the sporty, easy handling of a naked bike and the high-speed stability of a super sports car. "
