After waiting and waiting and waiting, it’s here. The `3.49 lakh ex-showroom BMW G 310 GS, ridden
There isn’t a bigger brand in the BMW Motorrad pavilion than the GS, or to be specific, the R 1200 GS. And the G 310 GS, now, is the first time that Munich has created a GS-branded motorcycle that displaces less than 500cc. The BMW G 310 GS, of course, comes from the same platform as the TVS Apache RR 310 and the other BMW motorcycle, the G 310 R. But the format of the BMW G 310 GS talks to the same idea as the R 1200 GS - a competent touring motorcycle with more than a modicum of off-road ability. And that’s built on the foundation of quality and reliability that the GS is famous for. The Indian adventure tourer market is just getting going. It starts today at the ₹1.8 lakh Royal Enfield Himalayan and goes up to the ₹4.6 lakh Kawasaki Versys X-300. The BMW G 310 GS is the third adv at ₹3.49 lakh ex-showroom. The Hero X-Pulse, at a price just under ₹1 lakh should arrive before 2018 becomes history and of course, KTM has confirmed that 2019 will bring the 390 Adventure to India and the world.
BMW G 310 GS technicals
Keywords loaded, let us dive straight into the motorcycle. The trellis frame and the swingarm are exactly the same as the G 310 R. The engine is exactly the same as well, down to the gearing. That means the 34PS/28Nm 4-valve DOHC single cylinder is mounted ‘backwards’ and tilted back slightly as well.
