The new BMW G310
 

I manage to get a look at the new BMW G310 today at the Motorbike Festival in BKK, had a sit on it and it was quite comfortable.
The staff say its going to cost about 200,000 Baht when it comes to Thailand, just shy of 4K (GBP)

looks allot like a suzuki gladius, same kinda thing i guess.

Hi Guys n Gals,

being a fan of 'Tiddlers', I'll take one out for a ride when they become available.

A bit worried bout seeing a skateboard alongside it!

Those orange crash bungs look a bit odd.

Skateboard wheel you mean. :cool4:

Mezo.

The G310 is the result of BMW's new partnership with Indian company TVS Auto. A GS version of the 310 already on the drawing board (minus 300 lbs. of bling. hopefully). BMW are quick to stress that the G310 is 100% designed in Munich.

Perhaps BMW have taken KTM's lead, realizing a huge deficiency in their line. But latest interviews with BMW's CEO indicate that electric scooters are high on their list of priorities. These scooters have been a disaster sales wise in the USA. (so far!) But that is where they are headed.

Here are a few facts about the bike from BMW:

Highlights G310
Innovative liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with two overhead camshafts, backward-tilted cylinder and intake tract positioned at the front.

Output 25 kW (34 hp) at 9,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 28 Nm at 7,500 rpm.

Rigid tubular steel frame, upside-down fork and long swinging arm for a high degree of ride stability, precise steering response and sound handling.

Tires 110/70 R 17 at front and 150/60 R 17 at rear.

High-performance brake system and ABS as standard.

Sophisticated ergonomics and multifunctional instrument cluster.

Low seat height of just 785 millimeters (31").

Dynamic roadster design with echoes of the S 1000 R.

Developed in Munich by BMW Motorrad and produced in India in cooperation with partner TVS Motor Company.
Individually tailored optional accessories in the familiar high quality typical of BMW Motorrad.

Details
Designed specifically for the world market, the BMW G 310 R can run on the most diverse fuel qualities, meets all emission standards and local requirements and it takes the typical BMW premium aspiration to the segment under 500 cc.

Hi Mollydog,

a GS version would really appeal to me, as a genuine alternative to my much loved XT250 Serow.

Bring it on.

Regards

Reggie

Suzuki gladius with a BMW emblem.:thumbdown:

Looks farq all like a Gladius, currently I have my Sertao for sale so I guess this will make a logical successor.

I wish there would do a small engine light off road. Going bike
