BMW G 310 R [2021] price in Kumhari

1. Buying experience is seamless, pre-booked during launch in 2020 and got delivered on Dussehra festival as committed by Navneet motors - Thane. Do reach out to Vishal from the sales team.
2. Riding experience: is very nimble and agile, superb pickup, and lightweight.
3. Looks very premium after all its BMW, quality is top-notch and looks expensive bike for sure, in short a head turner. Performance is up to the mark. Do not compare with ktm 390 because not all want high-end performance. Some people want comfort and class.
4. Service and maintenance are on the higher side, spent 5800 for my first service though. Pay a premium for a premium brand that's the basic rule
5. Pro: looks classy, feels like you are riding a much more expensive bike than you pay. Great ride and very comfortable posture.
Cons: vibration over 5k rpm, gear shifting could have been better. Colour tft display missing / bluetooth integration missing. If your journey is long and prefer to cruise 120+ then don't go for this bike.
Overall i am a happy customer

About the Reviewer

Well, well, where do I start! My experience with the BMW G310r has had its good and bad moments so far.
I got the back 2 months back. The buying experience was horrible. The staff at Navnit motors Thane was unprofessional, rude and downright condescending. The salesperson that I communicated with, Mr. Ketan, openly abused me on call and kept pestering me to pay the full amount without providing me any adequate assistance during the process. Nonetheless, I went ahead with the booking.
The day I got it, I drove it back home, some 40-odd kms from the showroom. It was raining, the bike was on a cold-start and brand new. It still did extremely well, helping me avoid close calls, courtesy of the abs. The ride quality was great, suspension is on the softer side. In my opinion, it is perfect for our pothole-ridden roads. The throttle is really engaging, and the bike just shoots forward once you rev above 3000 rpm. One thing that really upset me, especially during the first few weeks, is the gearbox. It is rather clunky, not smooth at all. You need to apply some effort to upshift it, and it's impossible if you're wearing slippers. Also, the vibrations really creep in after 5000 rpm.
One part that i really like though, is the quality of parts. All cables are braided, switches feel premium to touch. The paint quality and lustre is the best I have seen on any bike in this range.
Talking about the looks, the bike is a real head-turner. No matter where you go, people will look at you, ask you questions, compliment your ride. The bmw badge is a conversation starter, for sure. The tank is very muscular, the golden forks add that extra oomph. Otherwise, the bike is quite conservatively styled, which really helps aid in comfort. It's not like the ktm duke 390, which has a very edgy design and aggressive stance, which translates into an uncomfortable seating experience.
Being a single-cylinder, 300cc motorcycle, the maintenance is the same as most other bikes. Check tyre pressure regularly, lube the chain, top-up the coolant and you're good to go. As for the official servicing, it is on the expensive side. First service kicks in at 1000km, and costs 6,500 rs. Every consecutive service would be at an interval of 10,000km and will cost about 9,000-10,000 rs. Which is 2-3x what the servicing cost would be on a ktm duke 390, or even an apache RR 310, which it shares parts with.
To sum it up,
Pros:
Beautifully designed
Bmw branding
Premium materials and finishing
Capable engine
Amazing handling and cornering
Cons:
Horrible, horrible showroom experience
Limited dealership network
Expensive servicing and parts
Motor is somewhat unrefined
Exhaust note is not upto mark
Abs is a hit-or-miss

About the Reviewer

Its riding experience is so smooth as butter. It is a proper racing machine. Looks are incredible and performance is also touching skies as it is a bmw.
However, the mileage is very low and it is the only con in it by me. Everything except mileage is perfect. Great acceleration, handling, weight distribution and comfort.
