BMW F650ST Motorcycle - Street (1997-1999)

The BMW F650ST, produced from 1997 to 1999, was a street-oriented variant of the F650 series, known for its robust single-cylinder engine and chain drive. Designed jointly by BMW and Aprilia, with assembly in Italy, it was powered by a reliable Austrian Rotax engine. This model featured a liquid-cooled, four-stroke, DOHC, 4-valve, 652 cc engine, delivering 48 hp at 6,500 rpm and 57 Nm of torque at 5,200 rpm, fed by two Mikuni carburetors. During its production from 1997 to 1999, the primary trim was the F650ST Strada. This variant was specifically tailored for road use, distinguishing itself from the more dual-purpose F650 Funduro. Key differences included a smaller 18-inch front wheel, shortened spring travel, road-specific tires, and a lower seat height. There were no significant mid-cycle generation or engine changes for the F650ST within these model years; its design and specifications remained consistent. The F650ST itself was introduced in 1997 for the American market, incorporating updates from the broader F650 platform. FAQ:
