BMW Bikes

If you are in a hurry, BMW S 1000 RR is the only option you have because Ducati Panigale V4 will not be launched this year in BS6 version. All said and done, the BMW S 1000 RR is a worthy successor and the development team have done a laudable work. With a starting price of Rs 18.50 lakh, the S 1000 RR is the most affordable European superbike on sale in our country. What makes the price even more impressive is the fact that it comes via the CBU route from Germany. Apart from the competitive pricing, BMW has also made the bike a tour-de-force with respect to performance. While it isn’t as revolutionary as the first-generation bike, the new motorcycle is a well-rounded product and is among the best litre-class superbikes on sale in India and globally. And while at it, the electronics package will ensure that riders of varying skills can relish the new S 1000 RR without scaring them silly. The S 1000 RR is among the most friendly and accessible bike in its segment and it’s a good option for someone upgrading to a litre-class superbike. The only concern for BMW will be its restricted dealership network compared to its rivals. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.

According to our sources, BMW Motorrad is likely to launch the BMW G 310 R BS6 in September.

Given the GS lineage, expectations from the GS as a proper mini ADV were high. However, it fails to impress on many counts. For starters, the motor lacks punch lower down the rev range and is vibey, which makes attempting off-roading or touring mildly taxing. The extremely soft suspension tuning means it bottoms out easily and can’t really be hustled on a twisty road, Where it scores is in the styling and quality department, but misses the mark on the features front. Having said that, the BMW G 310 GS is not a bad bike. It just did not live up to our expectations that come from experiencing the larger GS bikes. So, at its price, it might not be a value for the money bike. On the other hand, owning and riding multiple motorcycles is a luxury that few can afford and even fewer can truly enjoy. If the Himalayan is on your shopping list, it’s quite likely that it’s going to be your only motorcycle. And as an only motorcycle, it is as close to perfect as you can get in this price range, or even a few rungs higher, for that matter. This really is the Swiss Army Knife of motorcycles. It is a capable, versatile, one-size-fits-all motorcycle. Need something to ferry you to the office and back? No problem. Want to cruise the highways on weekends? It’ll do it all day and all night long. This is just the bike for the job. It’ll even keep you entertained on the twisty bits of tarmac you’ll find on the way. Short of hooning about on track, this is the one motorcycle that’ll do pretty much any and everything you ask of it, without protest or complaint. It may not be as in-your-face as some of the previous updates, but the Himalayan BS6 is a slightly more well-rounded and desirable motorcycle than before. Do take a test ride in order to clear your all doubts. Check out authorised dealership details.

Both bikes offer a decent amount of performance in their category, they offer great styling and they offer that quintessential BMW badge. The G 310 R here is clearly the more fun bike of the two, but then it’s got some strong rivals in the form of the KTM 390 Duke, which offers more performance and features, and even maybe the Apache RR310, which offers the same kinda performance and more features as well. You’re going to have to really crave for a small BMW roadster to go for the G 310 R.The GS, on the other hand, is a little bit easier to recommend mostly because there aren’t any direct rivals, at least for now. The Himalayan is half the price, but it also feels like half the bike. The Kawasaki Versys-X 300 is over a lakh Rupees more expensive and isn’t offering a significant bump for performance for that. Also, as per your requirement, it looks more attractive. Do take a test ride before the final call. Check out authorised dealership details.You may compare both the bikes also.

Though the brand hasn't shared any word for the launch off BS6 version of BMW G 310 R yet, you can expect its launch any time soon.
