2016 bmw g310r - Huskytalk.com

Look what the NewsBot dredged up: Now we finally know, BMW's new single is 313ccs. And it is chain drive.

And made in India.

But be sure to read the part about Quality Management. Apparently, BMW does not plan to follow in the footsteps of Royal Enfield when it come to quality control.

Awesome! I'm guessing a jr. model ADV version will be next.

Love the look of it but please give it at least the same displacement as the KTM Duke 390

**Richard230** · 11-14-15

I agree with Mark. I see a G310GS coming in the near future. Regarding displacement, no doubt BMW will up the displacement in future years to attract sales from G310 owners who want to upgrade. Knowing BMW's marketing past, I sure wouldn't bet against it.

Difficult to know why they chose the 313 cc displacement. Perhaps to put it on level with the other popular ~300 cc displacement bikes by Honda, Kawa, Yamaha, et al. I wouldn't blame BMW for not wanting to get into a displacement and HP war with KTM, as that Austrian maker has determined to push those limits as much as possible. The little BMW is claimed to make 34 HP which should make it easy for beginner riders to handle and given the sport looks, should be popular with young riders.

It is aimed at A2 license owners (max. 35 kW). In Europe there are now three categories of motorcycle driver licenses:
A1: min. age 18 yrs, max. power 11 kW
A2: min. age 20 yrs, max. power 35 kW
A: min. age 24 yrs or 2 yrs cat. A2, power unlimited

Here is the first ride review of the new 2017 BMW G310R that I have seen so far. It took a while to get to the market: http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/bmw/2017-bmw-g310r-first-ride-review.html

**RichKerr** · 12-09-16

Read that earlier today. I'm glad to see it coming to the States, but I'm sure we'll be a small share of their market. They're getting set to make a presence in Asia, and South America. I'm sure it won't take long to surpass the sales of our GT's, many times over.

Make it like the 390 KTM, you funny man. Silly too!

**TelemarkTumalo** · 12-10-16

A bit of BMW promo for the baby GS. I haven't spotted any legitimate ride reviews.

Here's a first ride review:

**TelemarkTumalo** · 12-13-16

Right on Jason. But, I was talking about not seeing any reviews of the 310 GS. Have yet to see one in showrooms locally. The baby GS is still a rare bird in the U.S.A.

According to the articles that I have read, BMW says the G310R will not be imported into the U.S. until next summer, with the GS following a few months later.

**Argyll** · 12-14-16

You won't see a 310GS in your showrooms anytime soon. Production is on hold (apparently due to 3td party component issues). I actually thought that I read that on here....maybe some other forum

Edit: the delays may only affect the Indian market - getting mixed signals on this.

**Richard230** · 02-11-17

I copied the two attached photos from another forum. They were posted by a fellow who attended the BMW G310R L.A. launch. Apparently one of the bikes that were being ridden by one of the BMW staff (or at least it was on display) was a new G310GS. So apparently they are getting the bike warmed up for the U.S. market, although I still would guess that you won't see one in your local dealer's showroom until later this year. It does look like a typical BMW GS though, so it should sell well, especially if the price in not too much over $5,000 USD.

**Richard230** · 09-24-17

The 2018 G310R is now on my BMW dealer's showroom floor and they sold their first one almost immediately. While I was there, several people were checking out the unsold blue bike. I think the $4,800 MSRP for the G310R is attractive for new riders, although the salesman didn't seem to think much of the bike - leading me to believe that they don't get much of a commission selling that model. I find the reversed cylinder, with the exhaust exiting the rear of the engine to be technically interesting.

Nice ride, for the $$ perfect

Went by the local dealer the other day and they have a 310 for test rides. They have no idea when the GS model will be available.
Show room full of new stuff. Hope they can sell the stock before tax time and they get hit for on the floor stuff.
Sale lady and I talked about the bike and the competition of the CSC that comes fully loaded for the base price of the BMW, or less.
With the overly pricey bags the BMW will probably want 6K$ out the door. Get real. She also was mentioning the single like it was a new thing. BMW sales has forgotten it's past of the single 250 of yore.

**WildWilly** · 10-03-17

Could see the GS as a second bike. My local dealer sold their first two 310s before they arrived.

Here's what one aussie mag said about the R.
