BMW G 310 R

[JayRider]

BMW Motorrad has revealed the G 310 R motorcycle, the company’s first sub-500 cc roadster. The centrepiece of the new BMW G 310 R is a completely newly developed 313 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with four valves and two overhead camshafts together with electronic fuel injection that develops 34 BHP @ 9,500 rpm and 28 Nm of torque @ 7,500 rpm.

The new G 310 R has a torsionally stiff, highly robust tubular steel frame in grid structure with bolt-on rear frame, an upside down fork suspension at the front and aluminium swinging arm with a spring strut at the rear. The bike rides on 110/70 R17 section tyres at the front and 150/60 R17 section tyres at rear. Stopping power comes from single 300 mm and 240 mm disc brakes at the front and rear respectively. The G310 R comes with ABS as standard. The unladen weight of the G 310 R is 158.5 kg and the seat height is 785 millimetres.

Looks great, anybody got any ideas of when it will come to thailabd if it does of course.

[RidgeRunner]

This was probably designed for the Asian Market. Perfect size for the road conditions here.

Need a fared version.

Need a fared version.

And a few service centres

[thaiguzzi]

Benelli with a BMW badge. Probably made in the same factory in China. Google Zongshen and the old 650 single BMW motor.

That would be a Keeway with a BMW badge, then.

Looks almost Duke-200-ish.

I'd take the 310 Beemer. But not in Thailand. Not taking it BMW's Thai mechanics to strip it bare of OEM parts.

Did not expect anything else from the market leader.

Yep, the service. When I bought my second bigger bike there's a deep cut at a vacuum hose near the carbs. I replaced it, the bike ran well and I made the biggest mistake to let a local "big bike mechanic" tune the carbs. That finally destroyed the engine.

The 750 cc- V 2 engine was "redone" twice. Only 200 km's after the first time, the one camshaft came out and did some great damage.Seems that he forgot one 6 mm screw only....

And when I changed the mechanic 70 km away, after the fix, I had only 50 % of my former compression. It was never as it was after I fixed the tube.

I love BMW's, but even this little one will be extremely expensive.

Is it possible that the engine for this bike is made in India? http://www.motorcycle.in.th/article.php/BMW-Motorrad-and-TVS-Motor-Company-sign

Here's my new bike, very service friendly.

From my reading

Beemers are the least reliable bikes.

Anecdotally, all my friends have had problem upon problem, same as posters here.

A 'status' bike, ha.

[bobbin]

I like it...

Probably priced just under 200K.

You wish!

No way, Jose! (Wish they would make it a beautiful naked bike, thinking of their R-25 and a Yamaha SR 500).
