I'm just at the point of begging and whining to my wife about getting a bike. I'm 50 father of 10 and I am firmly in my mid life crisis. I want an easy bike for a beginner but one that can do mild off road. That quest led me to the 310GS and this video really helped THANKS
On the day of delivery, I took my G310GS on a 250km ride on both road and gravel roads in the Appalachian Mountains. What a bike! It carves on the twisties and shreds on gravel roads, as well. It is the perfect beginner Adventure bike.
@@Parin_Mehta I can tell that the 390 will have more hp and therefore more pace. There is a review out there that compares the two bikes. He preferred the GS because it is more comfortable and the ergonomics are better suited for adventure riding.
I REALLY appreciate this review for testing and relaying what the bike is and not constantly bemoaning what you wish the bike would be. I’m looking at one of these after being off bikes for a few years and need something that can go on a hitch carrier. Most 250cc dual-sports don’t seem to be as capable on the road and honestly, it’s not like I’m roosting and tackling moguls. I really just want a bike to go trail riding and fire road exploring. Thanks for the honest review and explaining the capabilities of the bike as it sits. Great info!!!
I have owned mine for a month. I have not run mine down nooooooowhere near the kind of terrain you just went on, and I generally only WANT to ride in the 10 to 20 MPH range anyways, even when I had my well built V'strom650! The *main thing* people *need* to understand about the baby GS..........you pointed out very well! A) The fact that it is very light weight! and B) Ridden within it's limits, it is *FUN!!!* Great review dude!
A person I’m looking for! I’m cross-shopping the GS with the Strom650. Any tips? I live around wide open prairies and I’m concerned the GS will struggle maintaining 125-130km/h highway speeds (specially with gear).
@@ADVPulseVideos looking forward to purchasing the 310GS. I live really rural , 8 miles of dirt roads to black top , and 22 miles into town. Everything I've seen this is the ride for me thanks 👍
Sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I would love any help you can give me.
The more videos im watching about this bike, the more i fall in love with it. Beeing that light weight, im quite sure it would be awsome on the winter roads in Sweden.. Throw on a couple of studded tyres and go!!!
Tjena .... Have u got yourself a 310gs ? Jag bor i Stockholm. Looking at the Cb500x , vstrom 250 or GS 310. Would be interesting to know what u ended up with....tw
@@jasonsel773 Har inte köpt än, men en 310GS ska jag ha. Har vridit och vrängt på alla mina krav på en hoj och har kommit fram till att den är bästa valet. Att man kan få en helt ny BMW med abs bromsar för 50k är svårslaget..
Great review. The terrain in the video is the most technical I want to do now that I'm in my 60s. I plan to ride back roads, then gravel or dirt roads as shown in this video, and maybe very easy short off road sections. Strap a 55 litre roll top waterproof backpack onto the pillion and rear rack, with 30 pounds of camping equipment and a 7 pound tool roll. The baby GS is perfect for that. The soft suspension requiring slow and steady in rough terrain is perfect for my riding style. I wish it had a 6 gallon fuel tank instead of a 3 gallon tank, but otherwise, ideal for my use with a few aftermarket upgrades.
@@chiefenumclaw7960 - I bought the 2019 G310GS brand new in late fall of 2020, as the 2021 models were coming out, so BMW came down $1000 and the dealer came down another $400 to get the bike off the showroom floor in late October. I only have a couple of months remaining on the three year factory warranty, which I haven't used at all. It's been a great bike. I've taken many long day trips of 200-350 miles and I ride it around town a bit. I've taken it camping but I need to do a lot more of that including multi-day trips. The waterproof roll top duffel on the rear rack and pillion is 66L instead of the 55L typo in my original post, but otherwise everything I stated before has held up the last couple of years. I love the baby GS. Based on the number I'm seeing and the fact that BMW doesn't seem to be promoting it at all, I conclude that the G310GS is a big seller for BMW Motorrad. I wish they'd introduce an upscale G310GS Adventure with a 5 gallon fuel tank, aluminum bash plate, engine protection bars, larger and more aggressive off road foot pegs, tubeless spoke wheels, and maybe some common add-ons such as a dual high current USB charging port, windshield, folding mirrors, hand protecting brush guards, heated grips, larger foot on the kickstand, etc. Of all of my wish list, the larger fuel tank was the only thing I was unable to find in the after market, although I kept the original alloy wheels which are fine for the old man riding that I do.
@@Liberty4Ever Thank you for taking the time to reply. I'm trying to decide between a Royal Enfield Himalayan, baby GS, or KTM 390 Adventure. They're all within 1-2(k) dollars of each other here in the States. If the BMW had even half of the features you mentioned it would be an easy choice. I think it's the best looking bike in its class. I hope you find the time to do some multi-day camping trips that you spoke of. Safe travels, friend.
@@chiefenumclaw7960 - The Royal Enfield Himalayan, KTM 390 Adventure and BMW G310GS were my list three years ago as well. I'd say they're all good bikes, and good for the riding I do. The 390 has more power (it's Race Ready 🙂) and the Himalayan has low end torque for the off road tractor factor. It's difficult to know what to choose no matter how many CZcams videos you watch and how long you work on a comparison spreadsheet. The esoteric factors are most of the equation and the only way to really know is to ride them for a while and see what works for you. I'm very pleased with my G310GS choice, even though it was largely luck that I chose it. The local dealer only stocked the off road KTM bikes. I got the feeling they had a deal with their reps from Suzuki and Yamaha. At the time, the Himalayan was allocated and they actually had a US drawing to determine who'd get to purchase the next boatload of Himalayan motorcycles. Those factors emotionally made my determination. There's no BMW Motorrad dealer in town and the dealer 75 miles away is frankly terrible. Many of us marvel that BMW hasn't revoked their dealership. In the end, I called 12 dealers in the eastern US that were advertising the G310GS online and asked for their best out the door price for one in Cosmic Black. They hate it when you do that and they don't like to play that game but it was late October and they were hungry and not wanting the inventory at the end of their fiscal year to avoid paying tax on it.
@@chiefenumclaw7960 ...find this title here on YT....the guy gives some very good points....find this title. "You Just Have To Hear This BMW G310GS Owner Compare His Bike With My KTM 390 Adventure"
this bike needs a 450cc motor bmw has 1 from the g450 x and beefy suspension spoke wheel 21/17 that would have been a great dual sport that I would buy
Rally Raid Products out of the UK already is developing a stage kit to address those issues. Check out MADTV on YT for a review of the current status and likely changes.
That would be gold. For now there is an aftermarket option from the folks at Rally Raid products. Here is an overview of what you can get: www.advpulse.com/adv-bikes/bmw-g310gs-rally-raid-adventure-kit/
Where were you riding (if you care to share)? Your video showed me exactly what I was looking for for that type of riding. I have ridden off road but not as extreme and have to say your comments were very helpful.
Hey Sean, Great to hear the video was helpful. Those trails are around the Miller Canyon/Lake Arrowhead area in California. There is some great riding around there.
I like the bike, the design, inovations, price point, weight and (soon) availability of the Rally Raid upgrades. But, I'm still waiting to see the (longer term) reliability of this Indian build. They don't have the best QC reputation. An inexpensive bike is worthless if it's broke sitting in the garage/shop. If it proves to hold up well, I may be scouring CL for a used one in a year or two.
The bikes electrical systems are little faulty. A small percentage of 310 riders had to go through it. Personally, I haven't faced such issues touchwood. Overall, It's a fun bike to be on.
indeed Rev! it's well *under* 400 lbs! How much lighter can you get with 300+cc engine except a off road only dirt bike aye? :-D The 310 is a real peach ridden within it's stock limits. Rally Raid is building one (and the stuff to build your own!) that is gonna be totally wicked! :-D
well, for the same price i'd buy a crf250L rally and farkle it with a lightweight exhaust and the 305 takegawa kit and it'll be still be cheaper, and better everywhere - off road / on road. Not to mention that it will also be 40lbs lighter fully tanked up. Infact it'll be better than a rally raid kit too. true story.
" True story" ??? *Bro, I seriously want to know where you can buy a 2018 CRF250L Rally with ABS for $4,995!!* I priced a CRF250L Rally ABS, the Versey X300, and the BMW G310GS before I bought the GS last month. The *CHEAPEST* 2018 CRF250L Rally-ABS within 250 miles is $5,879 The 305 takegawa kit is $575 plus install. Lets say you are a mechanic and install it yourself so I wont price the labor to install it. The best price I have found on a aftermarket exhaust for the CRF250's is right at $400 shipped. So just in parts alone you have spent $975 on the Honda. As for the farkles, BRAND does not matter much. The *cost* for windscreens, pannier racks, panniers, tank bags, engine guards, all that crap it all costs roughly the same brand to brand. I love the Honda. Hell I still have a HONDA decal on the back window of my Jeeplet. My first dirt bike was a 1984 Honda, my first dual sport was a Honda XL185, my first street legal bike was a Honda Rebel, my first full size touring scooter was a Honda Helix, I have also owned a 600cc 2009 Honda FSC600 Silverwing scooter, bought a brand new 2015 CB300F, LOVED my little CRF230L, bought a brand new 2016 Honda Grom ( impulse buy, sold it 4 months later). I somewhat restored a 1981 Honda GL500 Interstate back last year. The CRF230L, Helix, Silverwing scooter, GROM, GL500 are all on my channel. I say that to stress I am NOT hating on the CRF250L. I love them and they are undeniably for a flat fact better off road, but a better touring bike on road, that part we will just have to agree to strongly disagree on. Watching every single available review on the 3 bikes (X300, CRF, 310GS) and reading many articles, there is a constant repeating outcome on almost every review. The CRF is the best off road, the Versys X300 is the best at interstate speeds for extended lengths of time, and the G310GS sits right in the middle doing BOTH really well. At the end of the day though, the *AWESOME* thing is these new bikes are so damn good you simply cant go wrong with any of them! Buy what suits your taste / riding style and be happy!
Dude, a most excellent response in context and substance. The small ADV market is a compromise no matter how you slice it. To me, it revolves around the question: how much time am I going to be riding off-road and how technical is it likely to be? Riding a BDR or TAT or the RMATVMC Battle Born Nevada series will dictate your choice of bike, IMHO. Appreciate your final thought.
Thanks for the feedback Ed! This shake down is intended to test the limits of the bike in the dirt so that potential buyers can better understand its capabilities before making a purchase. This little ADV bike lets you venture off the pavement for light offroad work and can be a lot of fun if ridden within its limits. Not everybody that wanders offroad wants to do gnarly or technical stuff and, in addition to its wallet-friendly price, this bike offers many appealing features to some including its low seat height and its less intimidating and predictable handling offroad . Obviously if someone wants a dirtbike that means they don't ride on the street and don't care for a street legal bike to begin with. In addition if somebody wants something for serious offroad riding this is not the bike for that purpose, as we pointed out.

yea!!!
Need head to head with The Green machine Versys 300X..
Comparo coming up soon on advpulse.com. Stay tuned!
This bike is real cool. I wish I could afford it.
(I do too)
Does anyone ever put enough miles or time on these motorcycles to do a top end or do they just go somewhere and die?
How's the reliability according to you??
Normal BMW quality??
It held together well. We didn't notice any quality issues but it is a budget bike compared to the typical BMW bikes like the f800gs or r1200gs.
What about low rev torque?
does nt have any it gets 33hp at 9700rpm no good
Are those stock tires? What are they?
Yes, stock tires - Metzler Tourance
just like highway driving, ride like you have some sense!
wow new model ng BMW BETER YOU TEST FIRSH.
You really should invest in a better Gopro, yours has absolutely no stabilisation it gave me headaches watching. However it’s a good video!

Check out our thoughts on asphalt performance and video on the highway here www.advpulse.com/adv-bikes/bmw-g310gs-review/

Sorry, we don't have any experience with those standard bikes but wouldn't expect either to have a good off-road suspension.
lightweight compared to what ?? its 170 kgs !
That's light compared to most Adventure Bikes.
indeed Rev! it's well *under* 400 lbs! How much lighter can you get with 300+cc engine except a off road only dirt bike aye? :-D The 310 is a real peach ridden within it's stock limits. Rally Raid is building one (and the stuff to build your own!) that is gonna be totally wicked! :-D
well, for the same price i'd buy a crf250L rally and farkle it with a lightweight exhaust and the 305 takegawa kit and it'll be still be cheaper, and better everywhere - off road / on road.

Excellent video , its made in India but not given to Indians , hopefully that will change. 😊
For terrain I think lighter is better.
It's a no performance mt
