Now it may not have been time enough to justify a mid-cycle update, but BMW has taken the opportunity of updating their G 310 series along with the emissions compliance upgrade. We’ll be honest, the first time around the G 310 GS left a lot to be desired. On the BS4 bike, vibrations were through the roof, the build quality left lots to be desired and the front suspension dove like a Kamikaze plane in off-road situations giving the sense that the GS was built more for the road than anything else. Finally, there was the price that was absolutely ludicrous. BMW though have taken the learning curve and this new BS6 version promises to be everything that we hoped for from the G 310 GS, to begin with.
