30 and Counting: R12ST Riders...

A bunch of us are passing the time trying to account for all the R1200STs riders on this board with dim ambition of identifying most of them in North America. grin.gif

 

Here's the list we have so far.

Ben, I think you are going to want to split out the Canadian bikes as well since they use a differnt three digit numeral system than our US bikes.

#589 - '07 with 2/07 build date.

 

However, it's now at a good home in Illinois but I don't think the new owner is a member of BMWST.

 

You sold the ST after waiting so long for it?

Yeah - and to be perfectly honest, I don't know why I sold it other than I wanted to go back to a bike with far more relaxed ergos.

 

On the other hand, I'm now eyeing the 1125 and the HP2.

 

It's a sickness.

#366 2005MYBought new in July 2005 w/ ABS, Blue/Silver, Metzler OEM tires.

 

VIN decoder didn't like my IP so I don't know when the build date was.

And still quite a few BMWST ST riders missing...

I guess I am #31 wave.gif

 

Dark Graphite Metallic and Sydney Blue Metallic

 

#269. Build date, I don't know, I am @ work and bike is at dealer for tires. I know I purchased it from BMW of Grand Rapids Michigan back in May of 2005. I got just under 36,000 miles on the clock now and the only problems were I replaced both headlight bulbs and the tailight bulb in under a week in three different events and the left grip stopped heating this Spring and that is getting replaced while it is in for tires.

 

As much as I love the bike and its looks, I am going to put it up for sale around Christmas time and look into something different. What bike? I am not so sure...but I have ideas and this is not the time or place to discuss. wink.gif

Mine is a silver and red 05. Production number 338, April 05. Originally sold by Touring Sport in Greenville, SC, traded in where I was thankfully able to acquire it in March 06. Let's get together.

I see we have 2 members who claim to have number 338. I think someone is misreading the VIN decoder. The 0338 in the first row indicates the model of the motorcycle. All STs are model 0338. The production number would be the last 3 digits of the VIN.

As usual I missed this post. Vin #393 My 05 R1200ST has 73730 miles on it. Its the finest BMW I've ever owned. Its about time for another road trip? Dee Jones

Dean, you are the rider whose praise of this bike originally got me interested. I'm on my second one (crashed the first). I am in total agreement with your assesment, thanks for turning me on to it.

Hey Ben, thanks for gathering all these folks in one place for us--it'll make it that much easier for us to track them all down and bring them all in for . . . "re-education" later on! eek.giflmao.gif

Yeah, this is fertile ground for re-education candidates. tongue.gif Once we're properly indoctrinated, we'll be riding RTs and GSs. grin.gif

 

Probably the largest collection of ST riders on the Internet congregate on these hallowed pages. Pretty neat. wave.gif

 

We're up to 59 and I know there are board members who haven't checked in.

Ok, can't go much longer without adding my name to the list too. I've watched this grow with interest. And for what it's worth a friend of mine (Stu!) has also bought an 06 Silver ST too, both Central Scotland. Havent go round to checking the numbering yet, but from what I read in this post earlier, the UK numbers may not tally up to mean the same thing anyway.

 

I'll look at the numbering and report back.

The VIN# for the 07 is 590 not 207. It's located in upstate NY

I'm pretty sure both of these are incorrect... Might want to write Beemerjim and Roger_R to get them to check their last 3 again...

Hi Peter,

 

Yes I did get the AC Schnitzer handle bars installed on my ST a couple of weeks ago. They're great! The riding position is a bit more upright and the width of my arms a little wider. Coupled with my slightly higher ZTechnic Windshield, it's a perfect combination for me. I'll put some photo's under the accessories area of this site when I get a chance.

I regret to inform everyone that today I traded my R12ST for a K1200R-Sport. BMW's current promotion was simply too good an offer to refuse. I have really enjoyed the R12ST. Hopefully my ex-ST (#313) will go to a worthy new owner, and I will try to encourage them to register with this group. thumbsup.gif

 

Now I need to get busy and sell my ZTechnik windscreen and BMW tank bag from the ST.
