The G 310 R is BMW Motorrad’s foray into the world of small capacity motorcycles. This baby Beemer shares the same ainternals, i.e. chassis, engine, gearbox, suspension and even wheels, with the TVS Apache RR 310, and in fact, is produced in the same factory as the Apache, in Hosur. Launched along with its adventure-touring sibling, the G 310 GS in mid-2018, the G 310 R remains one of the most expensive motorcycles in the 300-500cc segment. But it does offer great build quality and use of top-notch materials everywhere. Performance-wise, it’s at par with its TVS cousin, and offers the best ride quality in its class.
BMW G 310 R Price & Variants: Rs 2.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi)
BMW G 310 R Specs and Features:
The BMW G 310 R is powered by a 313cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that makes 34PS @ 9500rpm and a peak torque figure of 28Nm.

And even though it has the exact same 6-speed gearbox as the Apache, it’s running slightly different final gearing thanks to different sized sprockets. It gets 41mm upside down forks at the front and a preload-adjustable monoshock at the back. Braking comes from a single 300mm front disk with a 4-piston caliper and a 240mm rear disc with a floating caliper. ABS is standard. It runs a 110/70 R17 front tyre and a 150/60 R17 rear tyre. Kerb weight is a fairly light 158kg.
