The Benjamin-Ono equation describes the propagation of internal waves in a stratified fluid. In the present work, we study large time dynamics of its regular solutions via some probabilistic point of view. We prove the existence of an invariant measure concentrated on $C^\infty(\T)$ and establish some qualitative properties of this measure. We then deduce a recurrence property of regular solutions. The approach used in this paper applies to other equations with infinitely many conservation laws, such as the KdV and cubic Schr\"odinger equations in 1D.
