BMW F800ST

The BMW F800ST is a sport touring motorcycle made by BMW Motorrad from 2006 to 2013, closely related to the F800S, with the dual-sport F800GS and the naked F800R completing the F-bike range. It has the same frame, engine and suspension as the F800S but differs primarily in fairing design and handlebar type. The 798 cc parallel-twin engine, developed with Rotax, has a 360 degree firing order and a third vestigial connecting rod to a balance weight, with dry sump oiling and a soft ignition-cut rev limiter at 9,000 rpm. BMW tuned the F800 series engines to run lean, at air-fuel ratios of 15:1 to 16:1. The F800ST has a low-maintenance belt drive and a single sided swingarm, ABS bikes include rear-wheel lift detection, and options included LED signals, a lower seat, an alarm system, heated grips, tyre pressure monitoring and an on-board computer. In 2013 the F800GT replaced it.
