I'm from Sri Lanka, and just to let you guys know that India is one of the biggest producers of Motorbikes in the world, and not just cheap ones. They have a lot of engineering expertise building a plethora of motorbikes. I don't ride, but I love bikes, and loved the review. They also build BMW, Mercedes and other premium cars in India with fantastic fit and finish as well. That's the beauty of a Global economy.
I’m 18 looking for my first motorcycle and I think I’m gonna go with this one. Looks alone is great and after watching these reviews I’m confident in my future decision thanks for the great review
There's nothing to be unsure about - having ridden and owned several 300cc bikes, this is far and away the best offering in the small displacement category. Thanks for watching & ride safe!
Razer Loche Hey - I appreciate that. Riders wanna see the bike, hear the bike, and listen to a little commentary. The quicker we get to the riding the better. Thanks for watching and ride safe.
Thanks for your analysis! Living at 18° North, I rode my used 2003 BMW Scarver almost every day from 2005 'till 2017. I wasn't a good owner & I gave it away in 2018 for 300€ while I replaced it with a single cylinder 660cc Yamaha MT03, not the newer 320cc twin cylinders MT03 😃😃😃 My 2010 MT03 has the same single cylinder engine as the famous Yamaha TENERE (2008-2016).
thank you for your beautiful honest review. I chose this over the grom. I just dont think the grom is going to fit me well, i really feel like im going to outgrow the grom. I meed a bike for normal work commutes but sometimes i dont want to put miles on the car and need to drive 120 miles. I think this would make a 120 mile trip beautiful.
This is made in India but I am still waiting for it's launch in India. Some say that the demand it will generate in India will be so high that the number of units manufactured at TVS factory won't be able to keep up with the the demand. Hence, they are making more bikes before the launch can take place. Seems it will be Q1 2018 in India. And very nice vid Sam, liked it.
It's always nice when a dealer lets you test ride motorcycles. BMW is really good about allowing dealers allotments for demo models. Glad you liked it - ride safe out there!
Hey Sam, thanks for doing the review! Question; can you tell me if the graphics on the tank and fairings are clear-coated over? Just in case someone wanted to go for a blanked-out look by removing the graphics. Thanks!
+Windsor Schmidt I can confirm that the decals are not clear coated over. They're easily removable if you want to go with that black-out look. Thanks for watching!
Most people would recommend something “not so fun” like a Honda rebel. But I think this is a perfect bike in the “sport” category. It doesn’t have nearly have as much power as other bikes since it’s a 300cc single cylinder. But it’ll last you a few years while you’re learning
Kyle Bernard Disclaimer: I no longer work for BMW but I have no ill will towards the brand. Having said that -the Honda is far more reliable BUT has a shorter warranty. The likelihood of having to use a Honda warranty is small where as the quality control on the Indian built G310Rs I’ve ridden have been spotty at best. A first bike should be bulletproof and forgiving so I would personally suggest the 300f. The G310R is tall for a first bike, the clutch is hard to use even for an experienced rider, and I don’t believe the build quality is anywhere near a Honda. Ride them both, find out which you like more. Either way - ride safe.
I'm a fan when it comes to top speeds. I'd like to ask u the ideal rear sprocket size to achieve 175kmph on the speedo. A reply will be highly appreciated LOVE FROM INDIA
The BMW G310R comes with a stock rear sprocket of 40 teeth and a front pinion of 16 teeth. In order to achieve that speed you would need to add 2 teeth to the front and subtract 2 from the rear. It would be 18 teeth in the front and and 38 on the rear sprocket. Good luck!
Great video! You mentioned basically everything that beginners are looking for, handling, appearance, sitting position...etc. I wanna have a bike recently. Just a lil bit worrying about G310R’s rear seat, it’s molded like there is not much room for the pillion. How does it feel actually? Is it capable of taking two passengers? I guess in inner-city travels it goes fine, what about travels for town to town and, say long- time traveling?
Awesome review dude! I’m just considering / possibly transitioning from dirt bikes into a small street bike. I’ve never ridden on the road before, do you recommend this for a first good bike?
Clarence Hey Clarence - This is a great beginner bike. We all think we’ll just ride a few miles a day but then we end up taking these bikes on 600+ mile adventures. You’ll love it either way. Thanks for watching!
I can't tell you for sure but I don't personally believe that will happen. The new G310GS should cover most of those aspects. If I had to guess... a G310RR might make sense to compete with the small displacement sport bikes of other brands.
Audacious Lex Depends on where you’re located as well as availability from the factory. This was the first color we received and it was our most reserved color option. It’s very beautiful in person. Wish you luck in your pursuit of getting one - ride safe!
Shouldn't be a problem but you should sit on one to find out - I would even recommend sitting on the new G310GS that was just released. It's a little taller in the saddle. Thanks for watching!
@@TadpolCreative Can adjustments be made if my foot won't easily slide in and out when using the clutch? I have size 17 shoes and can fit a 15 and 16 ones that fit if they run large.
Bro i admit tht our Indian products ar bit out of quality, we ourselves bothers a lot on that, but dont underestimate us simply 😅, coz we too desire to get a superbike manufactured in our country, waiting for that😀
We're really exciting to see some of the motorcycle exports coming from India for brands like BMW, KTM, and Triumph. We have pride in selling your products - there is no shame in being proud of your country. Thanks for watching!
That's going to vary depending on the dealer, the milage, and how well you maintain your motorcycle. This motorcycle is covered by BMW's 3-year 36,000 mile warranty so there's nothing to worry about should anything go wrong. I don't have numbers in front of me for each service interval but I can tell you that it should be in line with other manufacturers for sub 400cc single cylinder motorcycles. I encourage you to search forums and research the cost of maintenance - it's a very important factor when choosing a motorcycle. Thanks for watching & ride safe!
BMW is known for making tall motorcycles - even though this motorcycle is on the smaller side. We have many customers of all sizes who ride our tallest motorcycles. It all comes down to how comfortable you are on the motorcycle. I can tell you that this motorcycle is very lightweight and seat height shouldn't stop you from experiencing it. Go to your local dealer and throw a leg over- that's the only real way of knowing! Thanks for watching.
@@TadpolCreative One suggestion and a question: Please specify your height, weight, inseam, etc when doing reviews so one can better get an idea if a bike will work. I am 6'3" and 240 with a 35 inch inseam. The BMW G310R looks great on paper, but I fear I might be too big (I also have size 17 feet, which is a huge problem regardless of the bike and will likely require some modification to the peg/clutch set up to let me foot slip easily in and out). AND I am about to get my license (never have ridden before other than my kid's 50cc moped - that weighs about 215 pounds wet). I like the idea of having a lightweight and easier to control bike for local (city) driving with the occasional trip to the country to ride and see scenery (I would transport the bike there - I live in the DC area and highways would be REALLY dangerous). I am also over 50 and would like to get another 50+ years in without an accident! :-) Given that, what do you think?
Thanks for watching! I'm not in sales so I haven't seen any OTD numbers for these but Sam would know for sure. Call the shop Tuesday-Saturday between 9am-6pm and Sam will get you definitive OTD numbers depending on the sales tax according to your city. (925) 938-8373 -Drew
I'm 15 and live in NY, gonna be 16 in March and was thinking of getting this as my first vehicle. I've never ridden a motorcycle before and everyone I talk to say it's too dangerous to ride one. Do you think this would be good for someone wanting to ride or I should ask for some cheap car first?
im also 16 in nyc bro just get a bike these rnt expensive and telling you bikes r dangerous is just something adults are hard wired to do. if u want a bike, get a bike. most fun u can have at 16
It's not dangerous but for a first timer it will be a little difficult to manage since this bike is little heavy. If I were you I would start off with a smaller capacity of a lighter bike. Learn the basics then move up.
Dhairyasheel Shinde Having owned an R3 I can tell you the power delivery is much different. The R3 has no usable power until high up in the rev range while the G310R has usable torque throughout. The G310R feels slightly taller but also handles much better. Thanks for watching!
KTM and Husqvarna are using Indian motorcycle manufacturers to supply production for their smaller engine motorcycles as well - don't know how I feel about it. The reduction in price comes with a risk of reduction in quality to be sure. Either way, thanks for watching!
At least you get quality built bikes with current Husqvarna lineup since its built in Austria. However rumour has it that could be entirely moved to India in 2019. I did consider G310R for my first bike but most likely will go for Vitpilen 401.
That's a great choice - I checked out the Svartpilen in person a few weeks ago and was impressed with the build quality. The price is a little steep for an entry level motorcycle but I think the design and stylistic choices Husqvarna made justify the price. I've ridden the KTM 390 which shares the same engine and can say for sure that the 390(401) engine is torquey and feels more powerful than the numbers indicate. You'll love it! Ride safe out there.
To be very honest with you - there aren't really any of the vibrations you'd expect with a single. The bike does have bar end weights to help reduce vibration to the hands but it's very minimal to begin with. Go ride one and find out!
Pill low36 It’s BMW engineered but 100% manufactured in India by TVS. I had problems with the clutch on one of the initial units but I haven’t heard widespread complaints. It does have a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty if that eases your mind - I just personally feel that if you’re going to risk buying an Indian made motorcycle you’re better off with the KTM 390.
While it isn't the shortest motorcycle on the market, it is very lightweight and manageable. The best way to know is to go sit on one and see how you feel on it. We have riders who are around 5' that ride fully loaded r1200gs adventure bikes - it's all about how confident you feel on the motorcycle. Ride safe & thanks for watching!
I may have to ask the counter, Im 6'5" 300 and wanting to get into sport bikes coming from cruisers, would something like this still be enough for me to safely maneuver on? If not, what sub 500cc would you recommend?
@@user-qd6jt9sd3h no offense but at 6'5 300 pounds your going to look like a gorilla on this bike . Maybe u should get a standard 650 then you can get a sports bike after your comfortable with that
@@eagleeye8916 yeah unfortunately that's what I was thinking too. There are worse things than being stuck in the cruiser life now that Indian is making a comeback, and since this I have been looking at the ninja 400s and they seem to be a good height
Great bike but $6000 out the door price a too high (including FL states taxes and dealers fees) , compared to the $4750 BMW manufacturer MSRP official price.
Alex Abadi Unless you scam on the title, u have to pay taxes for any bike...even Craigslist used, the only time you wouldnt be is lying about sell price on tag. That's the majority of the price increase u mentioned.
Connor Knipes That’s pretty easy on paper - KTM and BMW translate to Bajaj and TVS for their manufacturing origins. The KTM had SPAL fan issues the first few years but they’ve sorted that out and the new revamp with the TFT looks really good. The BMW had a kickstand recall to the last of my knowledge and that’s about all. I’ve ridden both and the KTM definitely has more power, handles better, and IMO looks the best. The Kawasaki is going to perform like any other metric 400 but there’s a charm to that and japanese reliability is unmatched. I’d personally rank them Kawasaki then KTM then the BMW in terms of reliability but in terms of fun I think the KTM is best. It depends on what you value. Fun, reliability or a tank badge. Ride safe.
For a first bike it's ok to ride something smaller like this. You will be a much better rider to start off on this and move up to something bigger than diving into a 1000cc street from the get go. I'm 6'4 and started on a small Kawi...I looked like a giant riding a tricycle but got my skills down much easier than if I jumped into CBR1000
I've watched abut 20 videos reviewing this bike and yours is by far the best.
+Iwo Wow - we appreciate that. We're going to keep getting better the more we create - glad you enjoyed it.
What I liked is that you showed how the bikes behaves on the street. You showed the real life acceleration and how the bikes behaves.
👌👌👌 review

Go with their new paint scheme. Red and grey painted bike has a lot road presence.
Also consider the KTM 390 Duke and Honda Rebel 300 imo.
Best review of this bike I have seen. The consumer in the USA is blessed with a 3year/36,000 mile warranty you say. In Europe its a lot less.
Thanks - that means a lot!
In India it's 3yrs unlimited miles with an option to extend to 5 yrs
Was thinking of buying this bike but was unsure at first, thanks for the review~
There's nothing to be unsure about - having ridden and owned several 300cc bikes, this is far and away the best offering in the small displacement category. Thanks for watching & ride safe!
this is by far the best review on the G310, thank you
“Dude this bike Scoots” 😆love that
How do you translate “scoots”?
Great review giving your impression of the bike without rap music or profanity. Thanks
"see if we can get a little love.. no love" hahahaha

what is the difference between 2017 and 2018 version

That's an Awsome helmet bro. You guys are only a 25 minute ride away from me. I'm gonna come by see about getting a second bike

Looks good, maybe a few storage attachments would improve it's versatility, not sure if it would work in light dirt roads
Funny you should mention that - we're actually taking a G310R and racing it in an open flat track event. We'll find out how it fairs in the dirt!
@@TadpolCreative so how was the dirt riding?
What’s the brand name of the gloves you are wearing in this video?
awesome video!

Hey Brother When is this releasing in India
Awesome review dude! I’m just considering / possibly transitioning from dirt bikes into a small street bike. I’ve never ridden on the road before, do you recommend this for a first good bike?
I definitely do - it's without a doubt the best offering among the entry level bikes. Get out there and test ride one! You'll love it.
I’m 16 right now I’m looking into getting my first bike, is this a good option I’m 5,11 and I mostly would just ride a few miles at most everyday.
Clarence Hey Clarence - This is a great beginner bike. We all think we’ll just ride a few miles a day but then we end up taking these bikes on 600+ mile adventures. You’ll love it either way. Thanks for watching!
BMW Motorcycle Reviews thanks definitely gonna go take a look at a few, great content as always.
Do you think they'll release a 310 that is like the R1200RS... being like the R but more protection and sport touring setup?
I can't tell you for sure but I don't personally believe that will happen. The new G310GS should cover most of those aspects. If I had to guess... a G310RR might make sense to compete with the small displacement sport bikes of other brands.
Yeah a standard street sport bike / gentle RR would make sense to me. that's kind of what I was getting at
There is a G310RR, it's called TVS Apache RR310
Can you say "entry level" and "first bike" again? Not sure I'm getting your message...
God I'd give anything to know where you got this blue color from. All I'm finding is black and white
Audacious Lex Depends on where you’re located as well as availability from the factory. This was the first color we received and it was our most reserved color option. It’s very beautiful in person. Wish you luck in your pursuit of getting one - ride safe!
Nice little ride review, thnx. Q: what gloves and helmet do you wear here?
Thanks! A: The gloves are the Icon 1000 Retrograde & the helmet is an Icon Variant in the color scheme "Battlescar"
Ok, thnx. I'm waiting for the BMW G310 GS to show up over here in the Netherlands. Seems to fit my bill :-)
Awesome! I was very impressed with this motorcycle's engine - I'll be interested to see it how it performs in the GS.
First bike for 6’2” rider?
Shouldn't be a problem but you should sit on one to find out - I would even recommend sitting on the new G310GS that was just released. It's a little taller in the saddle. Thanks for watching!

Fun to drive a “slow” bike fast
Do we have a centre stand in this bike
Sethuraman Sekkappan No - not yet. I would keep my eye out for an aftermarket option.
Maintenance cost?
That's going to vary depending on the dealer, the milage, and how well you maintain your motorcycle. This motorcycle is covered by BMW's 3-year 36,000 mile warranty so there's nothing to worry about should anything go wrong. I don't have numbers in front of me for each service interval but I can tell you that it should be in line with other manufacturers for sub 400cc single cylinder motorcycles.

It's not dangerous but for a first timer it will be a little difficult to manage since this bike is little heavy. If I were you I would start off with a smaller capacity of a lighter bike. Learn the basics then move up.
learn to drive a car before a motorcycle
Bike is dangerous than car but then so is horse ! The thrill you will get from a bike will be all together different than car.
how is it compared to the Yamaha R3?

@@user-qd6jt9sd3h no offense but
at 6'5 300 pounds your going to look like a gorilla on this bike . Maybe u should get a standard 650 then you can get a sports bike after your comfortable with that
@@eagleeye8916 yeah unfortunately that's what I was thinking too. There are worse things than being stuck in the cruiser life now that Indian is making a comeback, and since this I have been looking at the ninja 400s and they seem to be a good height
YELLOW HONDA GROM BEHIND YOU
Gamerboy360 Good eye - that’s my motorcycle.
Oh cool! Also Very good video!
Thanks - ride safe out there.
Great bike but $6000 out the door price a too high (including FL states taxes and dealers fees) , compared to the $4750 BMW manufacturer MSRP official price.
Try negotiating or try a different dealer.
Alex Abadi Unless you scam on the title, u have to pay taxes for any bike...even Craigslist used, the only time you wouldnt be is lying about sell price on tag. That's the majority of the price increase u mentioned.
ok for city up to 100km/h. not for highway. too loud for its power, vibrate too much. other than that easy too ride beginners bike
Trying to decide between this the KTM 390, and the new kawasaki 400 thing.
Connor Knipes That’s pretty easy on paper - KTM and BMW translate to Bajaj and TVS for their manufacturing origins. The KTM had SPAL fan issues the first few years but they’ve sorted that out and the new revamp with the TFT looks really good. The BMW had a kickstand recall to the last of my knowledge and that’s about all. I’ve ridden both and the KTM definitely has more power, handles better, and IMO looks the best. The Kawasaki is going to perform like any other metric 400 but there’s a charm to that and japanese reliability is unmatched. I’d personally rank them Kawasaki then KTM then the BMW in terms of reliability but in terms of fun I think the KTM is best. It depends on what you value. Fun, reliability or a tank badge. Ride safe.
BMW Motorcycle Reviews what about cb300r bro? In terms of daily commute?
I'm 6'3, am i going to look like a giant on this bike? lol
Definitely, I’m the same height as you. You won’t “not fit” to say but this bike is a smaller less powerful bike and really just a sportier scooter
For a first bike it's ok to ride something smaller like this.
You will be a much better rider to start off on this and move up to something bigger than diving into a 1000cc street from the get go.
I'm 6'4 and started on a small Kawi...I looked like a giant riding a tricycle but got my skills down much easier than if I jumped into CBR1000
