BMW F650ST 1997 Review
fender design differs between the two bikes as well. A higher unit is fitted to the F650 to provide more clearance for dirt and mud, and side extensions cover the lower fork legs to protect them from stones chips. Also offering more protection is the F650s front engine plate which tucks in tighter to protect the engine, while the STs functions more as an aerodynamic spoiler.
All of the options available for the F650 can be fitted to the F650ST.
