My BMW went into the shop for routine service, and I got to ride this R1200ST for the day. I was very nervous at first, since it's the most powerful motorcycle I've ever ridden (110hp), and it has ABS brakes, but it was extremely easy to ride (easier and smoother than my F650). I took a few hours off work and to a jaunt down Pacific Coast Highway. I think this is my favorite BMW in the current lineup, however it's probably going to be discontinued soon, due to poor sales. I like it because it's a versatile sports bike, or touring bike, and I love the hexagonal headlight, and the entire style in general.
