BMW G 310 R [2021] vs Hyosung Aquila GV250

During our road test review, we liked certain things in the bike and disliked a few. Here’s a quick round-up of them all.

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 to lend the new G 310 R for our trackday, we were excited to add it to this year’s line-up.

How much better is the bike now? Have the issues been fixed which had plagued the outgoing model? And, can it outdo the accomplished KTM 390 Duke? We try to answer all these questions in this detailed review of the new BMW G 310 R BS6.

Touring is becoming a fashion among Indian motoring enthusiasts. And why should it not? We have vast expanse of open lands, biodiversity worth experiencing and some really good roads that are connected by many miserable ones with the difficulty level equivalent of playing Ping Pong with a Chinese national, giving riders a sense of achievement like no other.  Royal Enfield and Harley-Davidson have been capitalising on this pretty well for a while now and it is time that few others get to ride the wave, even if that won’t dent the sales of the big two. Hyosung is the front runner among the alternative premium motorcycle brands for cruisers and this time we test their new entry-level model, the Aquila 250.
