Info

BMW G310R It may be small but this little bike will carry the propeller badge like a WSBK superstar. BMW have said it will be build by TVS but was totally engineered and designed by BMW in Germany. It’s clear BMW is keeping an ongoing eye on the future with this small new offering, which might turn out to be the heart of the two-wheeled business of the future, or should we use the ‘money making’ term instead. We also expect spinoff offerings from this bike, like a full fairing version, which might bring along a racing class, a bit like what the RC390 is to KTM. And a small Adventure bike might also be on the table. The concept bike surfaced a couple of years ago and the message was clear from the start, a small package with a great kick. It will be a small capacity bike yet a real BMW at that with intent, and the stunt concept at the time highlighted this. The styling is typical BMW, yet not really pretty as such but still manages to keep one’s eye dancing all over the interesting lines of this new small offering. It really looks like a BMW and that is already half the battle won, right? The engine is the new small 313cc single cylinder which is unlikely to set your pants on fire or to let you fizz like James May would put it, but at least it would be kind to your wallet at best of times, especially from filling station to filling station. International reports suggest that this new lightweight will keep you smiling in the corner department, and with a the top end speed of around 150kph, is also fast enough to get you in some real trouble. This BMW bike of late is like no other before, but a BMW it is without a doubt. It’s fun, practical and capable. Watch out KTM, the Germans are coming… BMW G310R R????? 313cc single, 34hp@9500rpm • 28nm@7500rpm 143kg dry • 0-100kph=7sec, max speed=150kph You won’t find the postman riding anyone of these small sportbikes. They are proper and epic for what they are intended to be. Hopefully more people will realise how important small bikes are for the existence of all biking genres. And did we mention fun?
