Full Review: The BMW F 800 ST Sport Touring Motorcycle

Thursday January 24, 2008
BMW F 800 ST

We've taken a look at Honda's VFR Interceptor ABS, and now it's time to consider the only other 800cc sport touring bike on the market: the BMW F 800 ST.

Like the Honda, the BMW has optional anti-lock brakes, a single-sided swingarm, and removable saddlebags, but the two have considerably different personalities on the road.

How do they compare? Read the BMW F 800 ST Full Review and find out.

Call it nuance, but the BMW just looks a more sophiticated. The Honda’s edges are very harsh.I like that fact that they’ve gone with belt drive.

Scottie,

I think the ST’s got a bit of an “underbite”… styling’s totally subjective, but personally I prefer the looks of the non-ST version.
