BMW LAUNCHES THE ‘LONG DISTANCE SPRINTER’
The new generation machine will be a star attraction at 34 Motorrad dealerships for the official BMW New Season Launch events. BMW customers have been impatiently waiting to see the all-new 110 bhp flat-twin appear in dealership showrooms. Following the media hype after its first tantalising appearance to the international press at the Bologna Motor Fair in Italy last December, the R1200 ST was then unveiled to eager UK motorcyclists at this year’s MCN London Bike Show. Now, BMW enthusiasts are just one day away from being able to assess the newest of BMW’s new generation machines. Dubbed ‘a long distance sprinter’ the dynamic and agile sports tourer capitalises on the huge success of the R1200 GS and the recently launched R1200 RT. As a replacement for the R1150 RS – one of BMW’s most popular sports tourers – the R1200 ST looks set to take ‘success’ to another level. The R1200 ST (Sports Tourer) boasts all the essential characteristics of its predecessor and a great deal more. The ST is equipped with the same (but more highly developed) boxer engine and innovative chassis technology as the R1200 GS, as well as boasting 15 bhp more power and 17kg less weight compared with the R1150 RS. When this is combined with advanced rider ergonomics – such as a choice of three handlebar and four seat height positions; improved aerodynamics and increased weather protection – motorcyclists are guaranteed high levels of touring comfort and an outstanding ride. A number of comprehensive options and accessories are available to cater to the ST rider’s individual requirements, specifically integral ABS, heated grips, chrome-plated exhaust system and a new luggage system featuring waterproof panniers. Other special equipment is also available. Launched at all BMW dealerships this Saturday, the R1200 ST is priced from £9,060 on the road. It is available to customers in three distinctive body colours – Sydney Blue Metallic, Piemont Red Metallic and Granite Grey Metallic.
