Reviews of BMW G 310 GS [2021]

This is one of the most affordable bmw bikes in the market. The looks, riding quality, and features are really great. I have done a Rajasthan tour on this and absolutely no problem or no fatigue. Very well ergonomically designed and it is definitely likes you are owning a bmw gs family bike. Nevertheless to say this is surely head turner.

About the Reviewer

I always wished to have an imported bike for adventuring. Just took a good test ride on bmw g310 at the showroom. Stunning looks, technically built, and superb suspension which is very necessary for Indian road conditions. In India adventure bikes are only from royal enfield, they are ok but the suspension is too hard for long rides. The bmw g310 is an on road/off-road bike. A perfect bike for adventure riders and college teens. I have decided to buy this bike on diwali.

About the Reviewer

Buying experience (5/5):
The buying experience was great. Folks at the showroom were very helpful, smiling, and were answer each and every query of mine. This is my first bike so i had a lot of questions. The on-road cost went to 3.8l, which was 20k more than the budget i had, and the sales team was very hard to bargain with! :)
Riding experience (4/5):
Right out of the showroom, i could feel vibrations in the bike at low speeds. Along with that, there is a weird knocking sound (which i am assuming is coming from the chain), for which i took the bike to the service station within the first week of buying it. They weren't able to diagnose the issue, and i left with the hope that the sound will go away post the first service, which is scheduled in 2 months (or 1000 km). The bike, overall, is very comfortable and not so heavy or tall for me. I am 5'8'', and i can balance the bike easily.
Acceleration is great and it doesn't stall or take hiccups even while riding on high gears but at low speed. Very very smooth, indeed.
Gear shifts, during the first week, were a pain in my rear. Neutral just won't click. But after riding it for 2 weeks (~60 km), the gear shift has become much smoother. Again, i am hoping it'll get better after riding more and post the 1st service.
Details about looks, performance, etc (4.5/5):
The seats are very comfortable. The handlebar is wide and gives you a good and commanding position.
I, personally, like the design. It does not look too big or too small. Fit and finish, surprisingly, are not as per what i was hoping for, considering it is a bmw. For example, the front panel (the plastic structure surrounding the instrument cluster) is not center-aligned! it is a millimeter to the right and is unfixable. It is hard to notice, but i have a thing for alignments and it just breaks my heart every time i notice it.
The tail unit is wobbly too, and i can feel a few vibrations in the foot pegs, tank, and handlebar while riding at low speeds and low gears.
Road presence is nothing to sing about (just the way i like it). It does not grab a lot of attention and the exhaust sound is smooth too. You can park it anywhere and not worry, because it'll blend with a lot of other daily bikes. But yes, i have experienced a couple of instances of people standing a little too close to the bike, especially during signal stops, to check it out.
The mileage that i have got so far is ~27 km/l (100% city and in-traffic riding), which i am hoping will touch 30 or will go even beyond post the first service and on an open stretch.
Servicing and maintenance:
Yet to get the first service done, but my short experience of dealing with the team at the pune service station was good. Good infrastructure and service. Also, you get to see a few really nice-looking bikes, parked and admire the beauty till your bike is being diagnosed.
Pros:
1. Design
2. Exhaust note
3. Seating and handlebar comfort
Cons:
1. 11 liters tank capacity
2. Mild vibrations
3. Gear shifts

About the Reviewer

The dealer experience was not that great. The ride is as if you are sitting on a couch and all others are struggling to vade the bad roads . Love the revs of the engine, has enough juice while over taking and beautiful handling on the curves. Perfect bike for touring . Looks is a head turner, public will take selfies if you ride to the suburbs and park it even for few minutes.

About the Reviewer

Riding experience: the riding experience is so good long ride touring.
Performance: It's so good responsive throttle in the low-mid-high range you can enjoy the comfortable ride. Servicing and maintenance: Expensive service but it's worth it.

G 310 gs gets ride-by-wire throttle, a slipper-and-assist clutch, adjustable hand levers,. All-led indicators, and full-led headlampbuild quality has improved significantly as well.
It may not have been time enough to justify a mid-cycle update, but bmw has taken the opportunity of updating their g 310 series along with the emissions compliance upgrade. We’ll be honest, the first time around the g 310 gs left a lot to be desired. On the bs4 bike, vibrations were through the roof, the build quality left lots to be desired and the front suspension dove like a kamikaze plane in off-road situations giving the sense that the gs was built more for the road than anything else. Finally, there was the price that was absolutely ludicrous. Bmw though have taken the learning curve and this new bs6 version promises to be everything that we hoped for from the g 310 gs, to begin with.
