BMW should have given a twin cylinder at this price point. The yamaha yzf R3 looks real tempting now.

Not all buyers would buy considering it is TVS underneath, they will pay for the badge.

Lot of such examples exist in 4 wheel industry.

What is this BMW Motorrad Essentials? That too for 16500?

Also Insurance cost seems to be on higher side. May be we can save a couple of thousands by doing through some online channel - which is quite convenient also.

Wonder what they are offering in the BMW essentials package for 16k? While buying my MS Baleno, Maruti offered an accessories package for 11k for the car.

This 4.36 lakhs is minus RSA. So if we add RSA and two years extended warranty it might as well go up to 4.7-4.8 lakhs.

No no sir, RSA wouldn't cost that much.

I think the brochure states the EMI as 7999/- along with RSA.

The RSA costs 21,239 and somebody has posted the price list from Bavaria motors Pune in the previous page. EMI of 7999 including RSA is fine but no mention of how many years and what is the down payment.

If anyone of you have seen the service bay areas for BMW motorcycle showrooms in India, you will not be surprised by this pricing. They just dont have the infrastructure (space) nor the manpower (service advisors) to handle servicing of large volumes of motorcycles. Given these constraints, its easy to see why BMW has priced these bikes at these levels which are higher than what most BHPians wanted and / or expected. Im sure BMW would rather sell less motorcycles at these higher prices than have priced it say Rs 50-70K lower and sold a lot more bikes instead (thus earning the same amount of revenue).


Also, has anyone explored the service intervals and costs of these bikes? Are they reasonably priced / cheap / expensive?


All said I done, I think BMW and TVS have made a mistake by developing a platform with a power output that wasnt hitting the upper end of the A2 license spectrum. When the competition is at the 42-43 PS level, the BMW and TVS motorcycles dont stand a chance in real world performance with the 34 PS output. If and when the mythical Adventure 390 gets launched at EICMA and then hits Indian roads, it will gobble the 310s for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If and when ......

Same that I have been saying for a couple of months now. However, the 310R is priced above that expectation of mine as well.

310GS is spot on where it would attract niche sales IMO. Kawasaki X300 is dead totally now.

Does that mean that Kawasaki might go for course correction on X300 & bring it in direct competition with GS. To be honest, Many of us were waiting for GS and X300 and pricing of both have been absurd. Many like me have their hopes pinned on 390 adventure now. Must add that this wait have been very long and never ending so far

I think its decent pricing. While KTM continues to be most VFM, G 310 gets BMW badge. G310 is probably the cheapest BMW one can afford.

BMW has launched the G 310 R street bike and G 310 GS adventure motorcycle in India. The bikes are priced at Rs. 2.99 lakh and Rs. 3.49 lakh (ex-showroom) respectively.



The BMW G 310 R is based on a steel frame and measures 2,005 mm in length, 849 mm in width and 1,080 mm in height, while its wheelbase is 1,380 mm. The bike weighs 158.5 kg (unladen) and comes with a 11-litre fuel tank.



The G 310 R features a triangular headlamp with an instrument pod placed on top. The fuel tank has the 'G 310' decal with BMW logos on either side. The 'R' decal is placed on separate side fairings. The bike also has a chin fairing, stepped seat and a side-mounted exhaust with a chrome heat shield. The G 310 R rides on 17-inch 5-spoke cast aluminium wheels finished in black. It has 41 mm upside down forks in the front and a monoshock at the rear.



The G 310 GS is based on the same chassis as the roadster. It measures 2,075 mm in length, 880 mm in width and 1,230 mm in height, while its wheelbase is 1,420 mm. The seat is set at a height of 835 mm and the bike weighs 169.5 kg (unladen). It has a fuel tank capacity of 11-litres.

The G 310 GS has the same headlamp but features a pronounced beak that extends from the fairing. BMW logos are placed on the side along with GS monikers. Overall, the looks of the G 310 GS are inspired by BMW's larger capacity adventure bikes. It features 41 mm upside down forks at the front a monoshock rear suspension with 180 mm of travel. The bike comes with 19-inch alloys at the front and 17-inch at the rear.

Both motorcycles share the same 313cc, single-cylinder, water-cooled engine, which produces 33.53 BHP @ 9,500 rpm and 28 Nm @ 7,500 rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed transmission. Braking is handled by a single 300 mm disc with a 4-piston caliper at the front and a 240 mm disc paired with a single-piston caliper at the rear. Both bikes come equipped with ABS.

The prices are stratospheric, to be honest.
A price cut by Rs 50K, would have made it a compelling package.

However, the GS has little competition, unless Kawa decides to gate crash the party, by removing the X300's un-necessary accessories, and pricing it within striking range of the GS310.

310GS will do good numbers for sure, don't think kawasaki will take it easy, expect something changing with versys soon.

So ODmag says bookings are 60:40 in favor of GS .. but still substantial numbers for 310R. With already a waiting period of 2-3 months - looks like a success already for BMW.
