BMW G 310 GS Review | Does it make sense in 2024?

[@rishiroger]

Hey! Your content is on point, less chat-chat about the spec sheet which everyone can read and more focus on practicality and feel! I loved it (and I got absolutely the answers I was looking for), this is what motorbike journalism/vlogging should be about - like a poetry and different from others. I wish you lots of public traction ahead.

I'm glad you got the answers you were looking for. Keep supporting!

[@ttbhutia8288]

I do have 2020 bsvi Himalayan, 2024 Himalayan 452 and GS310. But my honest review will be that the GS310 is like students of some private premium school and Himalayan is like students from premium Govt bindas school. Both are good in their own ways. When you ride Himalayan I don't have to think off road or tarmac but when I ride BMW i have to be extra careful. I love both RE and bmw at the age of 51. Bmw is like Hritik roshan and Himalayan is like Akshay Kumar 😂 From Gangtok Sikkim

[@WolvesandWheels]

Great to see your passion at 51! Happy Motorcycling 🐺

[@UltralightMotorcycleCamping]

Beautiful video! Good analysis too. I love my baby GS. I have the 2019 G310GS with switchable ABS with a lot of upgrades, particularly for more off road use, although not hard off road because I kept the alloy rims.

[@SNAKYMusic]

1:04 is that contessa behind you🤩

[@johanvermeulen756]

riding this thing +4 years now, very happy with it.

[@BharathBoss-rj5vt]

What was all the total services amount all these years?

[@rishiroger]

Between this and Himalayan suspension duties, what would you prefer ? I rode the Himalayan 450 and I'm getting it very soon - I felt the brakes and suspension were my favourite part about it - however I want to also test ride bikes that outperform the suspension of Himalayan 450. The BMW 310GS seems like a nice contender.

[@WolvesandWheels]

The 310 GS suspension is great for the city /highway but are too soft for off roads. The Himalayan 450 does better on off-roads and almost as good on good roads too. Enjoy your Himalayan 450!

[@nofood1]

AMAZINGGGGG Video bro, I’m from USA but living in Asia and I LOVE this bike, especially the looks, but the cons you said will make me think about buying it a little longer. They are selling for very cheap prices in Vietnam

[@TalhaKhan-wl9yp]

Does anyone noticed the classy car(i guess contessa) at 01:03

[@Naveenslife]

Is any new version/update come in BMW gs310 in this year or any competitive model from bmw on this price range

[@WolvesandWheels]

i don’t think so bro. Hope they change the brakes atleast!

[@rvaidy51]

Heard from many 310 GS riders that vibrations doesnt come until 120 kmph on these new 2023 2024 models and also, it is very small on foot pegs st 120 kmph. What was your speed at 6000 rpm?

[@WolvesandWheels]

I have tested extensively on all speeds but vibrations are inevitable post the 100kmph at 6000 rpm. But it's not so bad that you cant live with it, you can happily cruise around 110-120kmph with minor vibes in footpegs. But you wouldn’t want to push the engine too much and if you are used to smooth japanese engines it might be hard to accept.

[@maverick8846]

100-120 just fly, no vibration, nothing, feels absolutely good if you are well geared up.

[@Yuxufahmad]

As long as you're okay with your bike breaking down in the middle of your trip and issues like oil leak and rattling noise from it's body, You can go ahead with Royal Enfield Himalyan.

[@sanjaymohandubey1532]

Nice and honest take! I too loved the looks & suspensions on Baby GS but hated the clunky gearbox, dated dash and lack of features for the same price of KTM 390 Adv. Finally bought KTM 390 Adv Rally with adjustable suspensions and satisfied with soft suspension settings. Himalayan 450 is good too but huge weight and lack of features compared to Ktm Rally are bummer.

[@WolvesandWheels]

Great choice! Enjoy your ride😎

[@ashkabrawn]

Afterall.. it's a 313cc.. yezdi adventure 334 cc is closest... Is it beginner friendly ?

[@WolvesandWheels]

super easy and super comfortable BUT WATCH OUT FOR BRAKE FADE!

[@ashkabrawn]

@@WolvesandWheels noted !

[@shahrukhp3355]

what about the braking system of 310GS have you faced any issues with that..?

[@WolvesandWheels]

lever feels wooden and braking is spongy. They don’t stop in emergencies and close calls

[@maverick8846]

2:36 Exhaust note, agreed but its a raw engine and I dont think this is an engine against the raw power you receive from the engine.

[@WolvesandWheels]

33bhp for 175 kg kerb weight not very powerful brother! But definitely its a bike you can live happily with if you can accept the unrefined engine alone as other aspects like suspension and styling are best in class.

[@atulnair8815]

I have been watching reviews on the BMW 310 gs for over 2 Years nw & I feel urz is the best review I have come across till date. I genuinely feel u r at par if not better than the established players like dino, powerdrift, motorbeam etc.

[@WolvesandWheels]

Thank you Sir!

[@boxrecap369]

Bro can you maintenance cost

[@WolvesandWheels]

very high maintenance for a TVS manufactured engine. Avg annual maintenance cost 10k/service for engine oil change, brake fluid change, chain maintenance, air filter replacement. Hope this helps!

[@boxrecap369]

@@WolvesandWheels i didn't get the tvs manufactured engine what you mean bro

[@WolvesandWheels]

The 310cc engine used in the BMW 310GS is the same TVS manufactured engine in the Apache 310. They share the same engine platform manufactured at TVS plant in India. So TVS has the major role in the development of this engine from BS4 - BS6 than BMW , even though the reverse inclined engineering is BMWs.Hope this clears it up!

[@robcutter9792]

Nice quick review. Merry Christmas!

[@WolvesandWheels]

Thank you! Merry Christmas!

[@aashutoshbhagat2677]

Well it has its flaws but the biggest flaw to me is the puny 11ltr fuel tank on a 300cc ADV bike which is pegged to be a highway machine. And no1 talks about this as if its not important when in reality its very important as you need great tank range while touring so that you can save a little on fuel and travel further down the road to your destination with no anxiety on your mind. And thats why i like the G310R as its a great city bike and it knows what is its job is.

[@WolvesandWheels]

Absolutely! I missed it.

[@UltralightMotorcycleCamping]

The small 11 liter fuel tank is what I dislike the most about the G310GS. BMW should make a G310GS Adventure, with an 18 liter tank (more fairing to protect the legs from wind and rain) and spoke tubeless wheels, but they won't, because that would cut into the sales of their 900 and 1300 cc ADV bikes.

[@kunal5715]

Really hoping for an Upgrade to come soon for the GS 310. The Fuel Tank capacity needs to be fixed as BMW is Losing out on a Brilliant Product!

[@yatrikashish]

any news of the BMW 500GS?

[@WolvesandWheels]

No idea bro sorry!

[@lancevercitty]

i never like / comment on videos. But when I do it's usually top notch content

[@altroz4298]

Can you please review the CB200x? I intend to use it purely as a city commuter with the adv ergos

[@WolvesandWheels]

I'll try to do a review soon!

[@OntarioAndrews415]

Unfortunate, but true. BMW needs to refresh their G310 line up which has basically been unchanged since 2017/18. There needs to be a G410R and GS. Maybe a 450 to really compete.

[@WolvesandWheels]

dont think any development is happening on increasing the CC. Lets hope!

[@aniketparab999]

Thanks bro for very useful video in taking decisions for 2024 ADV segment and Happy new year 🎉

[@WolvesandWheels]

Happy new year and motoring!

[@serbbrb_7891]

nice video friend! If one were to upgrade the bike with Rally Raid components (level 2 suspension, new offroad wheels) would it still not make sense over its rivals?

[@WolvesandWheels]

No bro! In my opinion the unrefined engine is the deal breaker. Everything else can be upgraded and customised to suit your needs. Instead of spending on the upgrades which will still not improve the engine, go for a used Triumph Tiger or Ducati Scram. Lesser expensive options like Himalayan 450 or the upcoming KTM 390 ADV would also be better options! Happy Motorcycling!

[@WolvesandWheels]

at any speed if your pushing the bike to 5-6 RPM vibrations are high.

[@boni.sctttt]

is it a good first bike

[@WolvesandWheels]

Yess but ull get bored very soon. So get a bike with a little more performance and character to keep you excited over the years. I purchased this before a year and im already so bored.

[@boni.sctttt]

@@WolvesandWheels which one for exemple? i need it to be a2 and not too expensive on the second habd market

The most precious review of BMW

[@gravity657]

I am searching for bike which i can ride it on roads comfortably. Will do long rides on it. BMW g310gs looked good on sheets. Not interested in ktm you know the reasons

[@WolvesandWheels]

I have one and im still happy with it regardless. So if you don’t worry about the competition go ahead! But careful with sudden braking. The only major disappointment for me.

[@daffodils1000]

It has the best suspension in this segment. Period.

[@kunal5715]

Absolutely!

[@siddheshwarmule8450]

Perfect explanation ❤

[@undisrikanth]

[@WolvesandWheels]

Thank you !

[@rwriddell]

I own a 2018 GS310 with Rally Raid level 2 suspension. Great on and off road, light weight , making the 'bike a pleasure to throw around, and it's better off road than the KTM.

[@WolvesandWheels]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Jayda08]

I also noticed other people stating that engine and exhaust sound is terrible. I even had to turn down volume on my computer while watching videos of 310gs bikes.

[@WolvesandWheels]

Very unrefined engine note!

[@azizulzulzaha]

Triumph tiger 400 would be sickkk

[@jamie55555]

1- its too heavy for beginners specially if you are going off road (where i live) . 2- throttle is electrically operated and does not response as smoothly as a cable operated motorcycle, its like telling your horse go and he is still thinking about it. 3- neutral gear is impossible to go into when the engine is off it goes from 1st to 2nd instead of first to neutral and then from 2nd it goes directly to first so i have to always use the clutch for starting the bike not good. 4- for a beginner off road you need a seat height a bit lower than gs310 i am 5'10" and a bike like half as heavy, on a black top road you can drive a monster without holding the handle bars. 5- i do not recommend this bike to anyone,specially a beginner 6-i have seen many videos about the gear shifting problems but when the person talking about the problem is a business they always were hesitant to be straight forward.what a shame.

[@WolvesandWheels]

Spot on. The bike needs a lot of improvements to be recommended to anyone in this day and age!

[@chuckmoney3799]

ABS switches well riding wtf are you talking about

[@lambda3374]

Let's talk about your gear now, no proper shoes, no gloves, riding in India , well good luck

will try to improve. thank you!

[@NotisSenju]

Bro almost crushed to another vehicle just to give us the front brake test. Dedication i would say

[@harchintansingh]

How can u put triumph scrambler in comparison wieh Himalayan and GS310 ? Seriously 😂

[@WolvesandWheels]

For most buyers Scram fits their use case scenarios. Seriously 🙂

[@Arsalankhan6699ak]

KTM GUY😆

[@brahmjot04]

Total disaster. No power, no torque, absurdly priced,absurd service and part costs, ultra soft suspension which bottoms out easily. Why will anybody want it when we have the new Himalayan 450 around which is better in every aspect.

[@WolvesandWheels]

It made sense until 2023 but right now competition have surpassed it especially on the engine front. Wait for the RE to figure out certain quality issues in the Himalayan first batch. Happy Motorcycling!

[@42much1]

I think the power is very good for a 300 cc bike and I own a fz6 too. I am not comparing them but from my perspective the GS power is adequate . Certainly my main restriction are the fuel tank capacity and the gearbox.
