I’ve been a 1250 GS rider for years, but just added a 310 to my garage for all the reasons you mentioned. The 1250 is great, but off road it’s generally a chore to ride - just too heavy and I’m always worried that I’m going to inflict expensive damage with a drop. My 310 on the other hand makes off road fun for a change, and if I drop it while trying a tough trail it’s easy to pick up and cheap to repair. A great place to start as a new rider and a really fun little ride even for more experienced folks off road. Yes the KTM 390 is better to ride, but unlike the KTM my little GS isn’t going to break down and leave me stranded.

In the 90s I always thought adventure bikes would get lighter as we get new alloys and polymers in the future. I was wrong. Look at Yamaha: /1980 XT500 - 150 kg/ 1990 XT600- 160kg/ 2000 XT660R - 170 kg/ 2010 XTZ660 180 kg/ 2019 XTZ 700 - 200 kg. If the 310GS would be a bit bigger it would be the perfect replacement for my old XT660R.

You develop a top notch high end hi tech light full-of-technology balanced bike that beats all competition and on top of that you deliver it for a reasonable price, but in the showroom the attention is drawn by the even heavier, even bigger, even more powerful bull bike, and people pay just a lot more for it as gladly, just because they can. They want the biggest, the heaviest, the most powerful one.

@andrewmack21616 жыл бұрын
BMW aren't pushing these as ADV bikes because they're making so much money from the 1200 and they'd be shooting themselves in the foot by suggesting a smaller bike makes more sense (which it does). The truth is that the GS800 is probably their best adventure size overall but they don't make enough profit on it to push it too hard. These little 250-300 are the best size when a journey is purely off-road and/or small roads and doesn't include any Autobahn/Motorway/Freeway at all.

BMW just had to enter into this sub-500cc market. KTM with its Duke 390 was killing this segment. Now Honda will be replacing their old dated looking CB300F with a newly restyled CB300R; same engine but the styling and small tweaks is what will draw people in. Especially new riders (like me). I loved the G310R, but when I saw the GS version I fell in like all over again. The G310R like most naked bikes are upright, this G310GS is even more upright in its riding position and I like that better.

I watched this video and the discussion that followed. I also watched other videos reviewing this bike. It is amazing the contrast between other reviews and this one you did.. While your 10/10 rating is all well and good, it paints a picture of a flawless “perfection”. In other words. All praise and no issues at all. Others that rate this BMW were far more critical. Comments like: lacks power, squishy suspension, at 100kph the bike vibrates at the foot pegs and handlebars, the geometry between the rider and handlebars was uncomfortable when the rider needed to stand on the foot pegs. A set of risers would be needed, the bike had average handling. The only good comment was it seemed to be best suited for Urban riding.I am a BMW owner and have 2015 R1200GSA. Even my bike has its issues. Quite honestly your review was just one long advert for BMW similar to an “Infomercial” as they are called here in the US. Honestly, I get quite skeptical of any review that is rated 10/10, let alone this G310GS. I don’t believe it to be “A Game Changer” either. Your comments constantly compared this bike to others costing 2-3 times more, not exactly an even comparison. One good thing, I really enjoyed the route you took, the road was great and the views spectacular in spite of the slanted review.

I have a version 1 Duke 390. To put things in perspective. Wet weight of 154 kg and 43 bhp. New Duke 390 around 10 kgs heavier and the same power. Doesn't feel as explosive as version 1 and dare I say has lost the character inherent in version 1. The 310r is slightly heavier than version one and the adventure is heavier than version 2 of the Duke. Now the most important point the ktms produce 9 bhp more power at the exact same revs. Torque is also slightly more at the same revs for KTM. The ktms will always feel more manic due to this fact and the BMW will be mellower . That is also the image of these brands. KTM s are hairier. Having said that 34 bhp is plenty. 650 twins in the 60s produced that type of power and were considered superbikes but I digress. So KTM hairy BMW slightly less. The Duke 390 does 100 kph in 5.5 s which is bloody quick in the real world.

The purpose of these smaller adventure bikes is more than just a daily commuter. I honestly believe I'm not the only person who is interested in seeing how they all would cope on a longer journey without any modifications other than factory fitted options. Hell I would join you for the ride as I believe the point of them is to get more of us "regular okes" out there without breaking the bank so to speak.

The heavy bikes are a huge problem when going to those places.. Just watch any videos of kaza, spiti leh drives and you will see the challenge it is taking heavy bikes. Heck i remember a guy took a 60 cc moped to the highest motorable road Khardungla. The biggest advantage of lighter bikes i felt was on the way when there was a massive landslide and the road was blocked everyone waiting for bulldozer.. Me and my pillion we just sort of lifted and went across the landslide !! And you dont want to be stuck in such terrain n temperature on a bike. I have friends who own r1200, ducati and so on.. but the speed regulation is 120 is usually everyone goes at 100 cos of the mixed traffic in asia. This is the bike for me..

I get it. This bike is less expensive and it handles well in the dirt. We can all agree that no bike can be perfect for every application. I live in Canada and I tour with my wife. Short rides are 3,000 kms and long rides are 10,000 kms+. We need to carry gear, have some measure of protection against the cold, and the fuel capacity to make 350 kms between stops. During the work week, I need a commuter that can hold my helmet during stops and a GPS to help navigate the city. The R1200GS is the best-suited bike for me.

What About low rev torque? Is this bike can climb hills easily with luggage as people r saying that this bike lags low rev torque as compared to royal enfileds!

It's fly fishing rather than a deep-sea trolling rig. It's all finesse and technique - you can't just winch it in with power. I have a Tiger Explorer 1200 and a G310GS, and the GS is just a lot more fun..

Sir, we don't have these 310 twins here in India yet
@DannyBBom6 жыл бұрын
That's because they are 313cc singles.

They're supposed to launch later this year. Better to spend the money on travelling than maintaining those overpriced BIG bikes.

Not pushing it as an adv.. maybe they don't believe it is! Would have been interesting to have it compared with another Indian adv product, the 400 REH. 🤔

It's made by TVS and BMW collaboration yet we have been deprived from owning such a bike in India. South eastern countries these bikes have been launched example Malaysia, South Africa etc we had a glimpse in Auto Expo2018 without any launch promises.

That's a great pity; I think this bike would be perfect for India. I would be very surprised if BMW did not, at some point, introduce the bike to the market there.
