BMW G 310 R and G 310 GS: get new colours, remain mechanically unchanged
The BMW G 310 R and G 310 GS are available in a choice of three colourways, two of which are common to both – an all-black option and the traditional BMW red-white-blue Sport colourway. The G 310 GS gets a new Rally colourway with matte gold accents and the G 310 R gets a new Style colourway with a mix of white and red bodywork.
Both bikes continue to be powered by the same 312.2cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine making 34hp and 27Nm of torque. The chassis and underpinnings continue to remain identical to the older versions as well. While both bikes get a dual-channel ABS as standard, the one on the G 310 GS is switchable for the rear, enabling better brake modulation off the road.
A notable difference between these two models and the recently-launched BMW G 310 RR is the rather basic instrumentation in the form of a digital LCD display and the absence of riding modes as found on the little BMW sportbike.
Which would be your pick of the little Bavarian trio? Let us know in the comments section below.
