#unbelievable #G310R #srkcycles - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I went on holiday in South Africa in 2019 i bought this bike the next day after landing at the airport in Johannesburg. I traveled thousands of miles on that motorcycle with about 70 pounds of luggage on it and myself being 5-10 & 190 at the time going all over the country. It was fantastic! BMW bought it back from me at very good price when I left back to USA. I will always remember that bike and that truly amazing experience I was blessed with.
So enough power on highways?
Ride this bike everyday in Poland. Almost whole year. Already 18k passed away. It's not only entry level bike. I like light weight and middle (or even small) power bikes. Enough for city and traveling. I customize a bit, make something like scrambler and it's great bike! I've travel from Krakow to Prague, travel by poland... No problem, awesome bike!
5.7 seconds for a 310 is insane. My old klr650 did that. Great job and Sean is right about the bmw method of outsourcing some engines. Surely it keeps the cost reasonable too
I got one for myself as a begginer and i'm really happy with my choice. Had to choose between g310r and a secondhand 600cc motorcycle,i choosed brand and new instead of better performance.
I read that people noticed a lot of vibration at high speeds, what's your experience with that?
Are you tired of it and looking for more performance now?
@@ammarhalawani1974 there is smth,but not that disturbing
@@rm25088 not really,depends on what do you expect from it. It's not a bike that is very fast,but is fast enough for me. 5.5 seconds 0 to 100 km/h and top speed of 160 with 92 kg on it
@@romaniape2roti136 People are plenty fast with golf gti's and you're basically the same speed! Usable speed can be great fun
India has really stepped up their game on building bikes. The RE Himalayan is near rock solid.
Even the ktm Duke and rc 390
Why people take India so lightly in USA? We are the best minds out there but still so much of hate for us?
@@ashishsir3303 they mad indians making too much bank in their country thats why. There is no reason they need to be hating on the least problematic set of immigrants. Keep doing what u do.
Who else knows the ktm 390 is also made in india? 😂😂😂😂😂
@Ural Motorcyclist we know but we don't like it. And yes, the world's largest two wheeler and three wheeler company is Hero Motocorp an Indian company
@Ural Motorcyclist wow you and your preconceived notions about India, pretty low IQ.
Who knows that 50% of KTM is owned by an indian company?
@Pratik Jadhav hero is literally the biggest 2 wheeler manufacturer in the entire world. And yeah all kinds of flush toilets are INVENTED IN INDIA
@Ural MotorcyclistActually designed by two English men working for KTM which is Austrian not German company 🤔
Been riding a G310R for over 2 years , absolutely love it
What would you change if you had to?
@@grumpysquid If I had the money , F900R
3NITROUT no I meant the G310R
Hard to recognize you with the beard my good man. I've been riding my G310R for over a year in the heavy Bay Area traffic. It's a phenomenal city/commuter bike, glad you finally got round to it. I'm a woman, so I added a windshield for the freeway stretches. Just broke 6000 miles on it. I totally love that bike, and am most certainly not sick of it.
@Soldado de Dios Is it here: th-cam.com/video/f1H5HDr1jzE/w-d-xo.html
@Soldado de Dios It's a PUIG universal fit, which does channel the wind around my head a little. Very easy to install. I have not tested other windshields.
@Soldado de Dios Standard BMW topbox, it turned out to have SHAD stamped on the inside of it, so I went with SHAD saddlebags. they work well.
What criticisms do you have so far? I’m considering for my first bike. I’m 5’8/175
Hi Becky, I live in Bay Area too thinking to get this bike. How does it feel to ride it on Highway 🙂
You had me at "It's the Mazda Miata of motorcycles."
"For most people, it's all the power you need" You're so right! But the bike was first designed at BMW Germany, then a prototype was built in India & sent back to Germany where the production parameters were finalised & sent back to India, but I'm sure the best brains of both companies must have worked on it 😁😁😁 By the way, I rode 10 years a BMW 650 equiped with a Rotax engine... Excellent!
Since you rode probably G650GS. How does it compared to this one?
Small correction: The production parameters were finalised in Germany and sent to India and Brazil. Bikes for the American market are made in Brazil. The number of motorcycles sold in Brazil 2023 was three times higher than the number sold in USA (all brands).
@@aks13v35 Heavier but also excellent with its Rotax engine :)
@@aks13v35 I had a BMW F650CS that has the tank under the seats & a belt instead of a chain; as I said I rode it for over 10 years & love every moment of it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_F650CS
I have a 2021 G310R. Bought it new. I love it. It's a great starter bike and it's enough to keep a lot of people happy. I just wish BMW would've put a color display like the KTM Duke 390.
hows the vibration at 100kph?
Yeah this does seem like a really sweet bike. Even though I'm an experienced rider I really like small standard configuration motorcycles that handle well.
I bought one recently 2 months in as my entree level bike. First time learning how to ride and it’s been awesome so far 😃
I got one as a loan bike today while my 1200r got a service. I had no complaints about it other than it was just enough to pull my large bulk around and got a good idea what it must be like riding around at the speed limit. For someone lighter, learning or as a reliable commuter it would be great.
Cool little bike. Looks great too. I just got my first set of Tank straps in the mail yesterday. I can’t wait to put them to the test this weekend.
Well, you gotta think of the audience BMW were thinking of targeting when they made this bike, Beginners. As someone who has only been riding for a few months, and has this as their first bike I am very happy with it. Even with many other bikes under consideration, the G310R made the most sense to me all things considered to get and I really enjoy it.
Wud u say this bike is good for shorter riders?
@@vicc.4290 yea I would say so, I can basically flat foot it at 5' 7". I would say anything 5' 4" and up should be fine
@@saumiltrivedi7636 Thanks 👍
I couldn’t agree more, this bike looks perfect for booting around on the back roads. Light, cheap, great fuel ⛽️ mileage. I’m getting one.
here in bangladesh we have indian bikes too, TVS in particular. they have a model as you showed in the video its called TVS apache RTR 4V. from my personal experience this 160cc bike is butter smooth, has speed and power of a Tiger. Frankly speaking they are not very well known in outter world and compare to other company they are very new too. but What TVS achieved with their apache 4V bike it is simply awesome.
I lived in SF and had this bike before moving to Denver. It was awesome!
7:39 Full faring version already available with only TVS branding called RR310.
BMW showed a concept full fared bike back in Japan Auto show back in 2018 called "BMW G 310 RR"
That bike and the factory its made in:

Thank TVS MOTORS for that
@@arjunsavanur7242 he thanked now you happy?
@@ShivKamalUpadhaya
Where?
Its not actually that refined.The newer one is really refined but the version u rode isnt that well refined.That being said,dont know if there is a diffrence in the export version of the bike.
I have the old g310gs and I find the bike is plenty refined if ridden under certain rpm. Only in the highway, one notices that it is not refined. But if you get used to the vibrations, the bikes are lovely to ride.
I took this bike from NYC to Charlotte. A very wonderful experience
I'm sorry for your loss.
Great video! Helped me decide on it! Thanks for the great review!
My 2018 G310GS is an incredible machine. I added the Rally Raid suspension and I can practically climb ladders with it!!
From an aesthetic perspective that extended rear light/mudguard assembly has to go!.
I believe the DOT or Europe standard are responsible for the extended tail lights on so many motorcycles today, just not sure and not interested enough to research it.
Nope Indian version has the same tail light.
It’s just to comply the EMEA and APAC Road regulations!!
@NPC Doe Whats Liberals have to do with regulations? you want a bike without a rear light? that too in INDIA?
It's staying!
Really interested in this bike now since I'm preparing to get my beginner bike, lmao
Going to get my endorsement added on tomorrow.
“Metropolitan Commuter Bike”....love it Sean! I’m leaning toward this bike because of this review plus Calebs description on the website!
Nice 👍 looking great thanks for your review on that BMW 310 cc
UMMM the R27 was a 250cc single so they have made small bikes in the past
And...the r27 was a shafty!
History begins when the SRK hipsters started growing beards.
And recently(2009) G450,wich is also under 500cc...
🤦🏼♂️ you are right! Hell at one point most bikes where small displacement so I don’t know where he got that statistic he must just be talking about the modern era!
Beat me to it!
Yes it’s a good bike for the cost and has great styling
Awesome video man! Currently in the market for my first bike and might have to explore into getting one of these!
Very cool presentation! I like your style! Subscribed! ✌️
The bike shown at 2:08 is TVS Apache RR310 which has the same engine as BMW G310r. TVS RR310 is sold for $3412.38 and BMW G310r for $3939.39 in India.
Yamaha r3 that is an amazingly fun motorcycle! Had one.
Love the video! Please make a video of the MT-03 too! Not sure which was to go.
Loved you movies now love your channel!!! Awesome job Wolverine
My wife owned one of these for a year. During that time, we put almost 5k on it, between us. Sean’s observations are spot on. It was nimble, quick enough to flow with traffic, and just a bunch of fun. Never had an issue with build quality at all.
Why did she sell it?
I bought GS 310. Perfect bike to get used to riding again. I love it!
I bought a G310GS for my 60th birthday present as a returning rider. It's been all kinds of fun and exactly what I want. My friends with their R1250GS bikes keep trying to get me to upgrade but the baby GS is perfect for me. I've always ridden small dual sport thumpers and the baby GS has a lot of that going for it with much better road manners.
I own one and i love it, perfect commute
had this bike for a year now for a noob it gives me confidence in riding it is solid. rode an old honda rebel circa 2006 way back (no comparison).and at first being so exposed above the handle bars on the g310r was unnerving. then trusting the bike and its responsiveness gives you confidence in yourself and the bike.
He's gotta be trolling with that beard.

I love this bike! We have them as loaner bikes at our local track. This thing is amazing! Yeah the suspension is soft, the power is low, but they are light and fun! I would buy one if they only could come up with some better rear sets so I don't drag them all the time.

Welcome to Bikes and 3/4 Beards! Shawn you're the BEST!
Thank you. I decided to buy one yesterday. It's really great

The road congestion in other countries is horabal. This bike cutting around cars in traffic is what it will do well in.
Horrible...
Haha your spelling is quite "horabal"
Long ago and far away in my youth I rode a 305 Honda Scrambler as an entry level street bike. I had already spent several years on off road and MX motorcycles. So I knew how to ride when I got on the the 305, it just felt like a heavy dirt bike. This little 34hp BMW, 70+ mpg, has got to be great in dealing with city traffic! My car is an older BMW 318i with a 1.8 litter. 4cyl. Yeah, I know Harley and Honda both make motorcycles with comparable size motors. However, lots of fun to drive, twisty roads and city traffic, great mpg, and I can put the top down in good weather. From the factory 135hp in a GVW of 2,500lbs. Size does matter, and big is not always better. LOL
Great review as always! OK, hard question for you - for a street beginner, would you recommend this BMW or the Kawasaki Versys X-300?
i would say for the street def bmw cause it has good build quality and it is fun to ride
BMW made R24, R26 and R27 in the late 1950s and early 1960s which were single cylinder 250s.
r25 also i own 2 of them
And those small BMW bikes were REAL BMW motorcycles. Bikes you could ride around the world a few times. I presently own 3 BMWs, and sold 3 not long ago. You can never own too many motorcycles.
YES! This guy does not know what he is talking about! If you present yourself as an authority, at least know the subject matter! FAIL.
FortNine did an awesome review on this bike 2 years ago

Might pull the trigger tomorrow. How do you like it?
@@johnreggie7797 did you?
@@sergeant_dornan_ I did.
@@johnreggie7797 and how do you like it?
@@sergeant_dornan_ It’s my first bike and I can honestly say that it has been fantastic to learn on. It has never intimidated me even on my first ride. The gearing is smooth, stock seat is surprisingly very comfortable and it gets 70 mpg as a commuter. The downside is that…. It doesn’t scare me enough. I am 1k miles in and I already feel that need for more speed, primarily for highway cruising. It is comfortable to cruise up until about 65-70 which is where it gets very vibey and sketchy feeling on the highway. For a city commuter though, it is fantastic and I think it might be the best looking bike in its class. I may even keep it and get another bike because it is so lightweight and fun to flick through turns.
Dude your new beard style is so sick!! Wow! I wish I could pull off that look! Love your videos man. God bless you, Sean. Nice bike.
Thanks
Funny how all bikes that are for sell are awesome! Lol sir Sean you are a great salesman brotha 🙏 stay blessed
Really enjoyed this review of a pretty motorcycle by cheery informative wolverine
I just did my MSF course on one of those! It was super fun to ride.
That's a good bike all day man, they did a great job on it 👍🏼🤠
“This is the Miata of motorcycles” funny because In October i bought a NA Miata because it’s fun,cute and lightweight. Now I’m sold of this bike !
BMW would not appreciate that comparison though.
I been about to buy me a bike and my woman keeps wanting me to get these comfy cruisers and I want a touring bike like a ninja 1000 or even a naked bike so I told her if I didn’t get a bike I would buy a convertible Miata and still have a blast with the roof down drifting through the hills sideways! Gotta be a manual though I hate auto’s Except in town and I hardly ever go to any.l big town where it’s a problem anyways!
You should check for the TVS Apache 310rr. You will definitely love it man...!!!🙃
This is my first bike. 4 months and I love it. I'll get a 750 or 850 soon, but in the meantime, this one is really good!
I have a 2019 G310GS and love it. I bought it late October, just before the 2021 models were shipping, so BMW knocked off $1000 and the dealer knocked off $400 and I got it for $4920 out the door, which was less than the used versions with 5,000 miles, and I got the full factory warranty, which I haven't used in the first two years.
I wish BMW made an Adventure version with a 5-6 gallon fuel tank, tall adjustable windshield, and maybe upgraded suspension. Really, the fuel capacity is the only thing I can't upgrade in the after market, although it would be nice to have fully adjustable suspension without buying the stock BMW suspension and replacing it.
When I took my beginner MSF course they had one of these.
What was it like
@@BobBob-uv9fq I didn't ride it. It sat up higher than I was comfortable with so I stuck with a cruiser styled bike since that's what I wanted anyways. I get a lot of back and wrist pain stemming from the military so I knew I wanted a bike that had a more relaxed, neutral riding position.
@@keithbland9023 were u new to riding ,what bike did u end up getting
@@BobBob-uv9fq I was new to riding. I ended up getting a 800cc Suzuki Boulevard S50. I did sit on multiple bikes; makes, models, riding styles. For me, the Boulevard just made sense.
@@keithbland9023 is it ok for beginners
Does Shaun realise they’ve been making these bikes for a while now? And in a GS version too!
Love the psalm and the review ❤️
I just got this bike, same year too. I'm the same height as you but as soon as I got on it, like you said, it felt nice and comfortable. Also, from all the reviews on TH-cam I've looked at so far, nobody mentioned the rider's height compared to this bikes' height.
Baby Boomers will remember when the 350 was the "standard" size bike. Lots of grown men, (and women), riding 350's back then. Sometime later, the 750 became the standard. This is like going back to old times.
I made up my mind. After a lot of googling and checking all the bikes in every showroom. This bike i'm gonna buy for my very first bike. Lightweight and I'm 5'6 this would suit me.
Like the lighting for the video.
You are hilarious....and extrtemely informative!
By the way there is a touring version known as g310 gs
Whats with the beard xd
All these 300s are awesome bikes.. I wouldn't worry about reliability at all. As with most bikes, they will probably last a lot longer than people will keep them for. I'd love one of these for blasting around town.
Hey Sean compare with the KTM 390 duke which motorcycle is better for a beginner ?
if this was posted on the bike and beards channel something would really be bothering me
Oh god what happened to the beard 😂👌

Please do review of a Triumph Scrambler 1200 Xe!
Awesome video 👍🏻
As I was researching this, I see it has the ride by wire system which the duke 390 and a Svartpilen 401 also have. so does that mean that the BMW G310R can potentially be like those other bikes where they have the quick shifter automatic?
I love my 310GS. I've ridden through 16 counties and experienced countless adventures. Of the 3 bikes I've owned, this is my favorite.
Are you in the U.S?
How is it on the highway? Safe? Stressing?
@Samael Martinus I have one, and it's an awesome bike. I use to travel cruising for about 110 ~ 120 km/h and it does that effortless.
My top speed is 156 and its speed matchs with gps speed.

Respect for the Respect 💯
Are they finally off stop sale due to brake issues?
What would you choose if the price was the same and why, the g310r or duke 390?
I've been looking at both recently, and from the reviews I see a pattern:
BMW pros:
- has more low end torque
- better suspension for off roading than KTM
- more comfy seat
- less vibrations (until you go super fast)
KTM pros:
- higher displacement, more power, more hp and torque in general
- although assembled in India, engine is made in Austria (by KTM), not like BMW engine made in India by TVS
- higher top speed, more highway passing power
- parts are probably cheaper to replace (it's very popular in India)
To me the BMW looks better and seems better offroad, but I'm inclined towards the KTM because from many motorcycle people that I talked to, the BMW engine is too small and I will want to upgrade after a couple months. The KTM has an extra 10 hp (43 vs 33), which I'm told makes a big difference for a motorcycle.
Reliability-wise, I stumbled on a couple BMW users (in YT comment sections) had some leaks after 1000 miles of riding, and some KTM users that had over heating problems, so I'm not sure what to believe there...
EDIT:
my apologies, but I thought you were talking about the adventure models. If it's engine related, same things apply, because they use the same engines in their regular and adventure models.
Thanks for the review of my future bike. And for presenting the Word in your videos. It makes feel an affinity with you. God bless!
Nice to see you appreciate indian make, i want to see you make review on Royal enfield. Look at their success story it is inspiring.
I got the 650 interceptor and am very pleased so far.
Hi Sean, It's TVS and not TSV, in your video description.
I have driven one in India. It's quite awesome as you describe. Considering the roads and the people's purchasing power, anything above 250/300 INR is 'premium'.
TVS also has their Apache 300RR, same bike but re-tuned and better fairings than BMW version.
Both selling well here. Apache version though looks better and in my opinion drives better. More of a rush than BMW and a 'racing bike' if u can call it that.
But then ask how many here in India dream of owning a BMW here.... 95% hands will shoot up! The brand's appeal is awesome.
This bike looks crazy good. I was about to buy 5 other bikes and this jumped the list and it's not even what I originally wanted
Not the first time BMW have made a sub 500cc bike .
I remember the R45, which had a 450ish airhead engine,
BMW R24, 25, 35.
This guy is the type whos shocked to find out that BMW made airplane engines. He's like "Whaaa?!! Bro, they made airplanes??!!"
For info: This bike has been available in the UK since 2017. It goes surprisingly well so long as you make good use of the revs, and if you don’t, it’ll stall at every opportunity, to the point of it being downright dangerous. Additionally, each time it stalls, there is an odd (again dangerous) delay between pressing the starter button and the bike firing into life. Perhaps no surprise but, BMW’s service costs are eye-watering, even for the initial 300 mile oil-change. The side stand makes the bike lean at a worrying angle (no main stand as standard) and the foot pad on the side stand is far too small, leaving the bike liable to sink into soft ground. MPG is consistently excellent and the overall build quality appears reasonable - apart from the floppy front mudguard which developed stress cracks within a year. Oh, and the engine sounds like a bag of spanners on start-up. No seriously... it IS majorly embarrassing to listen to! Think sewing machine with big-end bearing failure.
looking at my first bike, just took the CHP moto class--they let me use one of these bikes---what a frustrating bike to start out on---everyone in the class was stalling hard unsure of the revs as beginners...it felt unsafe...love the handling--lots of vibration for this small of an engine--you are spot on Sir!
Starting in 2021, the BMW 310 got a slipper clutch and ride-by-wire, making it nearly stall proof.
I do the very minimum and easy to do maintenance myself so dealer service fees don't bother me. This inexpensive bike has a full three year factory warranty which I never needed on my 2019 G310GS.
Hey, you're the only person I can find who has reviewed both this BMW and the Ninja 300. How do they compare? I'm trying to make the decision between the two. I've had my licence for years and my last bike was an SV650 but I haven't ridden for 8 years so want to ease back in gently.
Would love to see a Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 video if you ever get your hands on one!!
Used this during the CMSP rider training (or MSF depending on where you are in the US). I cannot flat foot; I am 5' 6" in height with 29" inseam. The seat seemed to be wide; at least for me.
Fun motorcycle to ride. The throttle from initial position... I had to roll on quite more before it go vrooom vrooom. Despite that... G310R is easy to control, easy to maneuver, and easy to recover from going berserk.
