- 2018 BMW G310R review and test ride is my honest unbiased opinion of BMW smallest motorcycle. A perfect city commuter that get get you from point A to point B, through rush hour traffic, in no time. It is a small little power house easy to ride and maneuver in an out of traffic, you won't get stuck behind car as filtering is effortless due to the small light for factor. Engine is what you would expect from this 313cc single cylinder power train. Although for a 310 delivering 34.6 BHP it does surprisingly well to keep up with city traffic, enough to even fo the short express or motorway. All in all a cheeky little BMW with a sporty attitude, perfect for the rookie rider and city commuter that would rather prefer a motorcycle over a scooter. Enjoy the video!

I have yet to see a negative review on this bike. I love your review, went over many things. Love it. I rode dirt bikes as a kid, but I am looking for a beginner bike as well as a town/city commuter. I do believe I found it! And you cannot beat the price tag
Thanks for watching and the comment!
It doesn't sound so nice in the video, but in real life, it actually has a pretty decent sound. Especially when revved up.
Sean Paul Alejandro yes..this also depends on the exhaust. If you get a after market sales exhaust you could make this machine sound mean. Thanks for watching!
This’ll be my first bike. I can’t wait to enjoy the twisty back roads here in the PNW. Thanks for the review.
Chris Piccioni enjoy the new adventure!
Mine is coming from germany in the middle of july! I can't wait
Soulspire congrats on your new ride! I bet you can’t wait...I know the feeling! Cheers
Actually, the mirror has a problem of seeing traffic right aside you. I have owned this bike for 1 year already, it led a few dangers situations to me when I was trying to change my lane. I'm a careful driver though, but it just have that blind area.
Rode one Sept. 20, 2018 at my local dealership. It's a fun mini-bike. Reminds me of my old 70s Honda days when I was 13. The bike could be a good short range commuter and a great little bike to take out for an hour when the need for fun beckons.
Its just boggles me why they didn’t put a 400cc engine or even better a 500cc. They have a winner but here fierce enemy is the duke 390. I love the looks of this little beemer more as its more mature like but i wish it had 10hp more.
Yes agree it needed that little bit more to be completed. Thanks for watching.
Agree here too , I was thinking a V configuration too like a Honda vtr 250 but in 400 cc
Wouldn't be so economical though ...Hey?
Thanks for the review..my dream bike...
Wow amazing! Thanks... now I have no doubt this is the bike for me!
Pushkar Shirur thanks for watching!
Super review ! Thanks! 👌👍
Thanks
Very good review. Thanks for posting. Cheers!
Ontario Andrews thanks for watching
Jeez! Some hairy moments there when lane splitting. I'm a new rider and don't plan on ever doing that here on SA roads. Great vid, subbed.
It looks worse on camera :-)
How's the engine heat on this bike? Let's say I would to ride this bike in the city with shorts, will I be feeling any heat?
CS Tan this is a small liquid cooled engine that is nicely tucked away, so no issues.
i heard it had stalling issues and vibrations on highway.
how do you feel about it?
Visakh Vijay I only tested and reviews the new demo model from the dealer. I did not notice any major problems with highway and the bike did not stall on me once. Long term issues I can not comment on. I hope this helps and thanks for watching.
@@0to100Adventure alright.
im considering btw g310r and cb300r.
nice review though. 👍🏼
This or Duke 390? New rider with 2yrs on 125. Commuting and a long journey a month..?
Justin Fleming both good bikes, you will need to test ride both and decide, IMO it will come down to personal preference.
@@0to100Adventure thank you :)
Between Honda CB300R and BMW G310R, which one you choose?
arvin ghanadzadeh i can not say as I have not had a ride on the CB300R. I will try to make a test ride and review of this bike and the KTM soon.
@@0to100Adventure I appreciate it!!!
So i subscribe to your channel and waiting for your review.
And when you are reviewing CB300R, please don't forget my question!!
Thank you very much
@@0to100Adventure Don't think Honda are bringing the CB300R to South Africa. I've been waiting for it but they've pulled most of their low CC bikes from the country (Grom etc.). I'm only interested in this G310R because it's the closest equivalent to the Honda CB300R. If they do bring some in I'm definitely interested. Hope the review happens @Honda Motor Southern Africa
EDIT: Just saw the entire video and realised 0 to 100 isn't based in South Africa after all.
The 310 is a very small bike. For most people in the EU it's too small. A sort of Child bike
True, however, there are many that ride scooters as a matter of choice. I would prefer this to a scooter.
Not good for long ride? ... you're joking right? It seems that you're not a biker if you say such things.... my brother have Honda CB125 (~14 Horses) and he was in Mongolia with this thing lol .. Mud (Russia) ,- no big deal.. Sand (at Gobi Desert),- again no big deal for light weight 125ish bikes (by the way most of the locals had the 125s), meanwhile the BMW g1200 (and similar) have no chances. Because his road-trip comrades had such machines . All of them failed !!!! They all preferred asphalt lol and got nervous when they hit some deeper sand 🤣😂😆.. The BMW 310 is not good for long trips you say? .😒 Oh f**k off with this horse shit story !
Personally I would not choose this bike for touring the world, as with most bikers, this is my opinion. I would rather choose a bigger displacement engine for this for the open roads of +1000km per day. This being said I am sure that you could travel the world on this bike and have lots of fun doing it I never said you could not do that if you so choose. Cheers and stay safe!
@@0to100Adventure Look .The point is how it feels like to ride those machines!!!!. Long range capabilities "own opinion"is absolutely Irrelevant for a Bike review by a Biker. That's bullshit if you doing so.. Such kind of statements are against "our Philosophy" Law of the Universe , if I can say so.,😁 Absolute all machines are good enough for long travel .. Even cheapest Bicycle with cheapest 50cc motor (or E-motor) on it.
Cheers!
That is right and I don’t disagree...I try to to this but you must understand that how the bike feels is also an opinion that others might disagree with....these reviews are always subjective and based on personal feelings and taste. The review serves as general information for bikers to review and either agree that it is good or bad for themselves based on their own preferences....some agree and others not...I am okay with that! Cheers
@@nordwind8689 Listen twit... No one asked your opinion... If u don't agree just scroll to the next video... We watch his video to get his view and opinion... So please go on with you day... Have a good one
Good review. Having owned one for close on a year and with just over 6000 km covered I can also confirm positive comments made in this review. Definately a fun bike to ride, so much so that the other bigger bike's often get left in the garage. Magic around the twisties here in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
A little under geared for my extended highway rides so have plans to up the overall gearing by about 5% which it should be able to handle given the noticeable power gain from the full Akropovic system fitted. MRA screen also a worthwhile addition although it was not that uncomfortable in standard naked trim at cruising speeds of up to 120 km/h.
Cheers all and ride safe.
Vernon I too have one. Done 2000 miles. Totally agree with your comments. So light an easy to ride.
Fantastic review. Really enjoyed a decent and honest opinion from a rider / buyer point of view. I’m looking into a G310R myself and this video has made me feel I’m choosing the right bike.
I liked this video because of your maneuvering skills ❤️
Thanks buddy!
If a bike is made in India ,that doesn't means the quality gonna be compromised. BMW motorrad needs the Indian market for churning out profits from these kind of smaller displacement bikes.
Suraj Nayak agreed, it was not meant like that just that it is their smallest bike and they did not compromise on quality. Thanks for watching.
Had a quick look at these at the dealers , very good quality , thumbs up from here in Australia
I have the Racing red variant in INDIA and really this machine can be used super light in traffic and the light weight of this is a major bless
not to be mean but u talk to much
DD TELEVISION Roger that, point taken. Working on improvements to make things short and sweet! Thanks for watching and the feedback! Cheers!
Biltong accent!
Your country road is very good.
Great review! I'm still saving for the 310gs. It's going to take a while but I'll be buying it in cash. One day I'll go inside the dealership and buy the pearl white g310 gs. :)
Have you bought it yet?
@@antoniobuys359 Not yet. Still saving money for the 310GS. I bought a Honda CRF first so it's almost start to zero. :D
It was very helpful. Thanks.
Currently doing lessons for my bike licence. Got my finance approved for this bike for when I finish :)
nice, good luck with licence! ride safe and enjoy!
0 to 100 Adventure I was looking at Top Boxes and racks. This is the first one I’ve seen with the actual BMW set and not another brand.
straight from the dealer, you will need to inquire about it I sure they will have the same, I believe it is a standard BMW accessory for this bike.
0 to 100 Adventure Still have to get myself safety equipment too
Enjoyed your review. Mature and informative, not trying to be cool. Looking at one of these further down the line as a second bike just for short fun rides. Thanks for your time and effort. Deffo subscribing.
Many thanks for watching, feedback and sub!
Nice job, though you Euro riders and your "filtering" scare the bejeezus out of me.
jroberthadden thanks, the filtering looks worse on film that in reality, but I hear you. Stay safe and Cheers!
Nice review man
👍👍
SAIYAM WALIA thanks
For the love of Leon Schuster, it is not a powerhouse!
“little powerhouse” :-)
I now have 700k on mine. Soon we crank up the revs and fly
Hershel ewer ready, steady, go...go! Nice enjoy!
20:18 damn.....
Time for service they are expensive????
Hector Ramirez you must check with your local dealer.
Could You test the KTM 390 Duke
Juan M Rodriguez R yes, I will try to set this up once the lock down lifts. Cheers
❤
Looks like the mirrors suck !
Do you think riding the G310R for 600km would be comfortable?
Difficult to comment as I have not done it, but I will say this....it could be done for sure, but I don’t believe it will be the most comfortable experience simply because it is a commuter bike.
Can u pls comment about the braking in this bike ? Currently I have benelli TNT 25 I am disappointed with the braking system
The braking is top notch, you won't have any problems. Thanks for watching!
i think tvs has experimented on abs system to kick in only when needed.... to balance between bumpy road and smooth.... so the initial bite wont b much of a sharp but it will b more sharp in panic situations.. thats how it was made..if u need a exact detail about braking u can check tvs official site...
Right...
Very good
Hi how bad is the vibration since its a single cylinder?
Zac Al-bukhari actually pretty good, no issues.
with latest ecu update it doesnt hav any vib issues wat so ever....
Indeed really nice bike! I got mine last Thursday in blue and I love this machine. Your video is really cool and I am impressed about the empty highways in Warsaw - perfect for riding...
wupperFranke thanks mate! Congrats with your new bike. Live to ride, ride to live!
how about vibration?
I did not encounter any during the ride.
Get rid of that rear case; It throws off the center of gravity and affects the handling...If you're going to test ride this bike, test it without accessories...
Where are you from? That accent...

Awe!!
From Atlantis myself, just outside of Cape Town. And just passed my bike license on Friday. :-)

Congrats on the license, have fun mate!
nice review!
CB300R for me.
1990 good choice
Looks extremely cheap and low quality when compared for example with honda cb300r...
