[. . . ] The BMW R 1200 ST stands out on account of its low weight, high performance and sporty riding dynamics. Weighing just 229 kg* but generating 81 kw (110 bhp), the R 1200 ST simply powers ahead. As it does so, the familiar virtues of the boxer principle become even clearer: with maximum torque of 115 Nm and smooth, yet powerful thrust from idle, the boxer engine in the R 1200 ST is an impressive performer. * Unladen weight ­ fully fuelled, road-ready. 0 40 80 120 160 200 1. The BMW Motorrad shaft drive is an extremely durable, low-maintenance solution. 13 Doing what comes naturally. Double ignition and BMS-K engine management ensure particularly even, efficient combustion, a necessary precondition if low fuel consumption and exhaust emission values are to be achieved. In addition, two lambda sensors combined with a regulated 3-way catalytic converter act to further reduce emissions. The various technical features of the BMW R 1200 ST's gearbox combine to offer riders numerous advantages: the helical cut gears engage particularly softly, thus reducing running noise. Gear changes are initiated using a special sliding sleeve; combined with the optimised selection mechanism, this makes for easier, more precise gear shifting, involving shorter gear paths and requiring less effort. 2. The BMW Motorrad EVO Paralever is both a suspension unit and part of the drive train. The WAD strut (travel-related damping) makes the R 1200 ST highly responsive and stable. The entire brake system of the BMW R 1200 ST is equipped with steel flex brake lines. The BMW Motorrad Telelever ensures a sensitive response from the suspension. 3 5 4 Nm kw 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 4, 000 6, 000 8, 000 rpm Nm kw 8 x 1, 000 rpm 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 240 km/h 120 100 80 60 40 2, 000 2 1 The diagram clearly shows the ratio pattern of the different gears.

Its design takes into account not only seat height (B), but also rider step length (A), providing maximum control and a perfect seating position. A journey into the future. The R 1200 ST is equipped with the tried-and-tested BMW Motorrad EVO braking system. Steel flex brake lines create a stable, lasting pressure point in order to cope with the immense deceleration forces. The brake lining distributor for the two front callipers is elegant and integrated into the fork brace. The partially integral version of BMW Motorrad's proven Integral ABS II system is available as an option. When fitted, braking can be applied to both front and rear wheel via the hand brake lever, while the footbrake applies pressure only to the rear. The system's brake booster guarantees a quick build-up of braking pressure, excellent control and optimum braking performance with minimum rider effort. And as every rider knows, the wider the seat, especially towards the front, the harder it is to reach the floor with your feet ­ whatever the seat height. That's why the seat of the R 1200 ST has been optimised for rider step length: markedly slimmer towards the front, giving more freedom of movement when riding and making it easier to reach the floor when at a standstill; while broad at the rear, for more comfort.
