Is the BMW R1200ST the same as the R1150RT?
The old R1150RT was basically a full-fairing version of the R1150RS. For 2005, BMW has dropped the RS in favor of the new R1200ST, a sportier version of the new RT but using much less bodywork and features for a lighter steed. At the siblings’ press introduction, I spent a few hours aboard the 60-pound lighter ST before sampling the RT.
What are the problems with a 2005 BMW R1200RT?
Other than that, the bike has covered 14,000 miles without any real problems. A badly executed wheel change damaged the front ABS sensor, but this was the fitter’s fault. A couple of fairing screws have fallen out, and it drinks a fair bit of oil (around half a litre every 600 miles).
A high mileage R1200RT will set you back in the region of £2500, but you are talking over 70,000 miles and probably an ex-police bike. Spend £3200 and you can halve this mileage to into the 30,000s, but between £4000 and £4500 is the sweet spot for a 20,000 mile area bike and is worth aiming for.
