Waste of Money for the Badge

1 month ago by Royan2,350 views

It has many problems which BMW is not considering or bothered about. The major problem is with Engine overheating. The bike stops all of a sudden in the middle of the road because engine temperature increases even if you ride for a short distance which is not expected from BMW. Everything like the cost of bikes, spares, accessories, and service cost is expensive when compared to other bikes in the same segment. Not at all suitable for long rides. The battery drains out quickly and the stock wouldn't be available at the showroom when required. Engine breakdown is a big problem and it is difficult to take the bike to the service center in emergency cases as we have fewer service centers for BMW.

Tips for BMW G 310 R

Keep the fuel tank full all the time to avoid fuel pump problems Ride at low RPM to avoid engine overheating Change engine oil for every 7-8k kms instead of 10k kms as it requires service sooner than mentioned in the manual. Keep checking coolant Keep the radiator exhaust system clean for easy airflow.

1. Buying experience was kind of bad, the showroom located in Indore took 5-6 hours to do the paperwork and formalities. But it depends upon the individual showroom, in other showrooms you might get the bike in 1-2 hours as well.
2. Great riding experience. I would give a solid 9 Or 9.5 out of 10. Great for city ride and highways as well, Sharp Assist and Slipper clutch helps in quick shifting.
3. Looks... 11 out of 10.. All-day long. Everybody keeps looking at me when I pass by. (Hey, It's BMW bike, Hey, BMW BMW, people have even stopped me while riding and asked me about the price and riding experience (
4. Servicing can be done at both showroom or at your house as well, the nearest showroom for me is Indore which is 312km from my place, So Showroom owner sent his executive for service at my place.
It's BMW so the service will be costlier than other brands, but it's okay. It will cost you roughly around 6-7k INR.
5. PROS - Very quick throttle Response, Ultra-comfortable seats and Riding posture (won't hurt your back even in long tours), I am 5'8", but even 5'3" people can easily ride this bcoz seat height is perfect.
Muscular look, couldn't get any better.
CONS - Gear shifts could have been softer, they are kinda hard.
Needs TFT display, its other rivals have given TFT display RC390, RR310 etc.

Poor gearbox saw this type of messed up gearbox
Lots of transmission issues
Poor service experience
Battery issues with many g310r and 310 gs owners including me.
And service centers don't help due to a lack of batteries and spare parts
Bikes are at the service center for weeks but no one knows when they will be fixed.
Overcharge for everything.

It's very easy to purchase the bike. BMW Motorrad staff is very helpful to purchase the bike. I have booked my bike from the home. They have completed all paperwork by themselves. It's a very joyful experience of riding the bike. BMW g310r has a very good pickup with a powerful engine. It has very good mileage on the highway it gives around 35 to 40 kmpl. But in the city area mileage is around 20 to 25 kmpl. It looks very attractive to people. I've not done any service till now. BMW motorrad has fewer service stations. Other than that I have very good experience with BMW motorrad.

5The Perfect 300cc... 5 months ago by Visakh Wiz
1. It is my first bike and as a person who was upgrading from an Activa, this felt just perfect for me...It is a Beginner friendly machine... 2. Riding experience is just out of the world...This bike along with its sibling the GS310 has got the best seats on a single cy...
1. It is my first bike and as a person who was upgrading from an Activa, this felt just perfect for me...It is a Beginner friendly machine...
2. Riding experience is just out of the world...This bike along with its sibling the GS310 has got the best seats on a single cylinder bike so far, even better than Himalayan which is indeed a comfortable bike to ride...This seats are so well padded and also has got a lot of space... Pillion comfort is also very good...It has got a good ergonomics...Long distance touring are just easy and you won't fell any tiredness even if u take a 2-3 hours continuous ride without any breaks...the bike just goes with it...
3. Looks were the first thing that caught my attention...I can't just define how beautiful this bike is... Performance is just mind blowing... probably this is the best single cylinder 300cc bike you would get in the market today...The power is beginner friendly for riders who lack experience...It has got a lot of features and safety equipments...it has got adjustable clutch and brake levers, a digital instrument cluster with tons of data's, slip and assist clutch, dual channel ABS, all LED lights(headlamp, tail lamp & indicators), etc...and the best is the clutch assist feature which helps us to move our bike automatically in a small speed without using the accelerator that too in all gears, this helps us in tight traffic's a lot...the mileage is also decent for a 300cc, I get around 35km/l on my normal riding style both in city and highways mixed... This bike is an Eye catcher in every aspects...this bike is a true combination of "THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST"...
4. Maintenance is a bit on the expensive side as compared to other single cylinder bikes and some twin cylinder bikes...the price for parts and other accessories comes in a premium...but when it comes to service, the service cost is more when compared to others but it is justifiable... because, the service period is more, like we just needs to do our services once in 10000Km's or 1 Year(whichever comes first), where as others comes around 6000Km's or 6 Months I think... After all its a BMW and there will be a premium obviously, so the prices are well justifiable...
5. I don't have much on Pros cause I have already said that, but some of the one down sides I have noticed is that...firstly, it has a slight vibrations on the handle bar and the foot pegs when we go on higher RPM's or Redline it... secondly, it would have been better if it gets a better set of tyres like in RR310... thirdly, the no of service centers are low and lastly I'm not a huge fan of that exhaust design, but the sound's are dope, especially when we rev high...
So, This is my user experience or ownership review...and I'm so much Satisfied with the bike...

4Best bike in this price range for every type of use. 6 months ago by Aryan Patil
It's the best naked bike I could think of in this price range but it's expensive based on it's service charge. Also it only gives around 20 km/h in traffic or in city which makes it expensive for use in city given that price of petrol is at it's peak nowadays. But in pl...
It's the best naked bike I could think of in this price range but it's expensive based on it's service charge. Also it only gives around 20 km/h in traffic or in city which makes it expensive for use in city given that price of petrol is at it's peak nowadays. But in place with less traffic or less movement on road it gives 30 km/l.

I like the stability and feel. Ride at a high speed of 143 kmph. Brakes are amazing. Safety features are a high. Handle bar grip is good. Brake pedal is good enough. It definitely emits some heat if you ride within the city. No complimentary accessories given during the purchase.
The brand is a great eye turner in traffic signals. Way to go.

2Worst bike I have owned 8 months ago by Sudhir

The engine (soul of the bike) is rough and feels stressed at times and ventilation is not at par, the bike gets heated in slow moving traffic, the exhaust note is also not soothing, the gear shifts are very hard and this is a deal-breaker. Vibrations are present on the bike, service network is limited in India. You do not feel confident at high speeds. The bike looks good, grabs attention, suspension are good, seat-height is good for short riders also is comfortable to sit, led headlight is quite bright and gives good visibility at night, breaks are decent. Overall avoid buying this bike, it just looks good and there are lot of problems in this bike.

I got a chance to ride this bike from a friend, firstly the seating position was great, and then engine have a good power , while riding the suspensions works nice and cool and he have black color it give pleasing professional feel overall it’s good for daily use an excellent ride experience, and that's what it should be all about, right? perfect for a city commuter. Cheetah on the road and jackle at the corners. Good for a 400-500 km ride too, with upgrades c an go much high easily

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.

The buying experience was very good. People at bmw really help you to feel comfortable and suggest the way how you can afford bikes. Also, the finance department is very good.
The riding experience and performance of the bike are very good. Just two days after the purchase of the bike i rode it for 350km in one go. And it proves itself. The top end is very good, it shines out in the crowd, also beat the traffic easily. Overall it gives a good performance. Regarding city rides, this is the most comfortable bike to ride. It's neither too heavy nor its too light. I guess it's perfect in all shapes. And if someone wanted to have only one bike for city rides, daily commutes and adventure, and long rides, then one can easily go for it.
Servicing is a bit on the higher side. But please keep in mind that it requires service only after 10000 km so even if it is 1k-2k costly than other brands. One can easily manage. Plus most important thing you are owning bmw. So that much you can afford for such a good brand.
Pros and cons
Pros.
Good mileage 30-33km/l
Brand value
High pickup
Cons
Exhaust sound is normal it should be little laud.
Bike appearance is somewhat similar to new apache
The top-end speed is just 155km/h. It should be somewhere at 170km/h at least.
But even after these cons, i am still in love with this bike. People get mad when they see the bmw logo on the bike.
And this is the experience.

01 November 2021

To point out the strongest points of the bike, it is powered by a tractable and torquey engine while the handling dynamics only leave you impressed. If you think about it, these are the main qualities that make a motorcycle truly track-worthy. And since BMW was kind enough...
