In 2007, the German motorcycle maker released the BMW R1200ST, a sports-touring motorcycle built for three consecutive years. It was built in 2005, when it replaced the R1150RS, until 2007, when it was replaced by the R1200RS.
The 2007 model was in its final year of production and came with the same package as the previous one, featuring the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without significant changes.
The R1200ST packed the same 1,170cc twin-cylinder boxer engine, transmission, and shaft drive as the BMW R1200RT. Although the ST had similar specifications as the RT model, it was more sports-oriented, with a clip-on handlebar and a lighter fairing.
In the performance department, the 2007 BMW R1200ST had its heartbeat set by a 1,170cc four-stroke twin-cylinder air/oil-cooled boxer engine that boasted 110 hp with a peak force at 7,500 rpm and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
The power produced by the engine was converted into motion by a six-speed manual transmission controlled by a dry single-plate clutch and sent to the rear axle via a shaft drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 234 kph (145 mph).
As for its appearance, the bike was characterized by standard features, such as a full fairing with a large hexagon-shaped vertical headlight, a small windscreen, a two-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a single-sided swingarm, and aluminum alloy wheels.
