Narrower handlebar and thrilling handling on the road
Obviously, the new handlebar now slightly slimmer than before with the
handles 760 mm/29.9" (800 mm/31.5") apart, angled further to the front, and
w~ithout the typical enduro crossbar of the F 650, provides an even better
seating position for riding on the road, at the same time ensuring even greater
agility and supreme handling.
Small cockpit fairing and silver-painted engine spoiler
The new F 650 ST looks more sporting and dynamic right from the start,
featuring a small cockpit fairing instead of the higher, transparent
windshield typical of the F 650.
Unlike the matte-black paintwork on the F 650, the radiator and cylinder
cover on the F 650 ST is painted silver. And contrary to the matte-black
engine protection cover on the F 650 safeguarding the engine from stonethrow
in rough terrain, the F 650 ST comes with an aerodynamic engine
spoiler also painted in silver. The front mudguard, in turn, is narrower than
before and there are no covers on the slide tubes.
Optionally available:
touring kit with higher windshield and hand protectors
In accordance with his personal taste, the customer may also order his F 650
ST with the higher, transparent windshield featured on the F 650 and hand
protectors. Then he also needs a modified handlebar, all of these accessories
being combined within one touring kit.
Same options and accessories as with the F 650
It hardly needs emphasising that the F 650 ST - optionally available in
Germany and Italy with 25 kW/34 bhp engine output - is available also
with catalytic converter (standard in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and
the USA). Other special equipment includes engine protection hoops,
case supports, side-cases, a topcase, a power socket, heated handles, and
an anti-theft warning system.
