This honestly seems perfect. I was so excited for the g310gs but when looking at reviews I just felt disappointed and underwhelmed, especially with the suspension but I think this will make the bike worth it for me plus I enjoy working on my bikes and modifying them so this giving me a chance to do that just makes me more excited
I am happy to have changed my mind in time to buy the 500X instead the 310GS in Thailand. I am a fan of flat-twin, and only a 600 cc flat-twin,60 HP, 200 kg maximal weight,in the spirit of the R 80 GS would make me come back to BMW. I still own a 1985 R 80 RT which I use in France. Even with the best additionnal options the 310 GS will lack power and torque. Even my old R60/6 with 42 HP was a pleasure to ride because it got enough torque at low revs.
Awesome product and I have to say I prefer the look of black wheels on this bike, so I'm glad to see that is an option. (I keep seeing gold so I was wondering about that.)
So its turned a $6k bike (Now $7k) into a $10k bike with expensive bits whose costs you do not get back at resale. You might as well buy a stock $10k bike in the first place with it all done standard and which will be worth $8k in 3 years. In Australia, used 310gs's are going for $5k.
I just posted up my initial unbiased 1000 mile owner review of mine. Absolutely LOVE that light little flea of a bike! I am 41, been riding bikes off & on since 9, have owned over 22 bikes, 15 in the last 4 years, and this one is the most FUN to just hop on and go anywhere on I have had. :-D I am building mine alreay, but cant wait to get my hands on some Rally Raid goodies to make it even better!!! Namely the front suspension upgrade and the tubeless spoke rims !!!
@@GigiDuruDuru no problem'o. I did, Rally Raid has them. Or did have. I never put them on. I remained 100% satisfied with the stock rims with the Kenda K784 big block tires and then later traded the bike in on the Harley Fat Bob.
I'm blown away by Jenny. I've seen her for first time and I thought this guy is very very detailed and professional. But it's a woman. Her voice is deep like man. Jenny you've won the world of biking. I've seen this video repeatedly and cannot get enough of her awesomeness
Heard the young lady speak at the BMW National rally. She was an excellent speaker, enjoyed what she had to say; plus, after her talk she went outside to the bike and gave an impromtu talk about other aspects of ADV riding. Thank you
For its price point I think it fits a certain niche in the adv market .. I was at BMW the other day and seen the gs 310 and was impressed by the build quality as well as the fit and finish... I would buy one as a second bike to kick around .. I currently own a tiger 800 ...
What is the brand name of the off-road tire at the front desk which I am choosing? The size is also？Normal front is 110 and it should not have fit size for off road..
I had a DR350 and it was a great urban assault vehicle, and it's great for the intended dual sport purpose of riding on the street to get to the trails, and then riding the trails. The DR has more ground clearance and suspension travel so it's better for technical trail riding, but it's a street legal trail bike. It's not optimized for adventure touring. The G310GS that I now own is much more comfortable, easier to ride, and has a great rack for packing luggage. The saddle is much lower so it's not as easy to tip over. The build quality and components are better too. People do motorcycle camp with a DR, but the DR and GS are very different animals, just as sport bikes and touring bikes are different.
Emm... The price of this upgrade more than 3500$ So... Why not by 800gs? But this upgrade looks really good. It would be nice if bmw make this version too.
100+ lbs heavier and more than double the price. But I do agree on the cost of the upgrades but wheels and suspension cost mad money. Even the 800GS will need suspension work. in stock trim a good looking machine at a good price. Waiting for them to do upgrade on the Himalayan now..
So basically if you spend the purchase price again on upgrade you'll have a capable bike? Lmao.....would have been cheaper if BMW just built it properly and charged a little more in the first place!
It's cheap entry to join GS prestige club..not bad bike but the Green machine Versys 300X beat it.. The Rally Kit turn it to really beautiful Adventure Tourer bike,andcthete more mods to come; but the price goes up too high,it will reach big ones..so what the point then..?!
As much as I'm a fan of the new V3X, they are quite different bikes...especially after the kit is installed. Most notable difference is the engines which have different power delivery characteristics. The V is perfectly at home at highway speeds all day thanks to the high-spinning bulletproof parallel twin. Where it suffers though is the notable lack of low end torque, which is particularly useful off-road. It's likely that in stock form the V may have the overall edge, especially considering it's nicely tuned and forgiving suspension. After the upgrades though it may prove to be advantageous with an off-road bias. That's a couple of grand over the bike price though so it's not a fair comparison. The 310GS would probably be even better if it could use a 130 rear instead of a 150 (which is stock). Lightening up the rear wheel by 8lb or so would make the suspension have to work less and possibly pep up the bike a bit. Very possible it may happen.

Talks about the bike,doesn't show It fully
Hey HHF, we'll have a proper review after Jenny crosses the US. This was a very quick interview as she was riding through the area.

A poor excuse, the bike was right there to be shown...but you didn't 😮

Sorry to bother you after 4 years but did find spoke wheels for g310gs ?

@@coyote102076 thank you
Thanks Jenny great description
Any solution for the headlight vibrations in G310 GS ?

Do you ship to India?

Very nice bike
Check out these two hot rods!!!! Nice vid and great to get to meet you two and work with you Jenifer!!! Cheers, ~Nate
Does it makes sense spending money almost same as the price of this bike ?
It depends on how much you like the platform and what type of riding you want to do.
Why not just buy something like a DR650?
mmaaddict78 that would be too intelligent.
and also it doesnt come with a BMW badge 😂

Come on! 5 gears, carburated and flinstones overall look, it's a joke or are you very old fashioned?
WHERE IS THE BIKE ???
More video of the bike in action!
Would loved to have had more time with Jenny and the bike. It was unfortunately a very quick shoot before it started to rain.
Rally Raid produces over price parts. There is no point when the price of parts and bike adds up.

givi, kappa, shad

Sounds perfect, I'll do it then
did the host said is 2nd name was Manickam?

Please give the car some close-ups! ! !
The Mobile Phone Holder is from which company ??
Can these upgrades be done in India?
That's a good question. I'm sure it will fit the bikes anywhere, but you may want to ask Rally Raid if they distribute in India.
best upgrade for India is a nuclear bomb!
MrKdr500 we already have them

Liberty Tree yes..it will be logic dicetion..better wait buddy or maybe you will suddenly shift if you pass on something that fits you..
Essa moto é linda! Mas se passar na água meia roda ela desliga!
Jenny, I have to ask: G310GS vs. CB500X ?
Every parent has a favorite child!!!
Lot of bla bla bla and didnt see the bike. Put the bike in the frame, not yourself.
Yes, because the guest on the channel is in control of the camera operator and editor.
Only thing bad about a BMW is a BMW mechanic & parts $$$$$
