Could you try mt 03,I'm curious about your comment.
One hundred percent agree with you the second I used it everything was perfect, power, gear inputs, and everything it offers is perfect for beginners. My MSF course let us used them.
Been riding my g 310 r for 3 years. I have been riding bikes for 36 years. I've owned small farm bikes, big cruizers, 1000 cc sportbikes, adventure bikes and I have been racing motocross for 10 years. What I have learned through the years of having fun on the road with bikes and seeing people dying around me: you don't need bigger bikes to ride on public roads, you don't have to be a beginner to ride these small capacity bikes. Big engines get you in situations you don't want to be in. If you want to go faster, do it on tar and dirt tracks. 99% of people cruising at 90 miles an hour think they can ride and handle their bikes, but they simply can't, years of luck has given them false confidence. In my years of track experience (tar and dirt) I have seen seasoned riders with big bikes that looked like 3 year olds when they get on dirt bikes. Stay safe, enjoy the ride and not the speed. You have no safety belts or air bags, you are on a bike...
This comment is very inspirational and useful
simillar to yourself.. i was a bike courier in uk for 10 years.. thats on a bike ALL DAY EVERYDAY for 10 years in all conditions..winters etc.. i still ride trials, have done moto-x.. grasstrack..owned heaps of bikes over the years.. stopping at a 98bhp bmwr1100 ... that was enough i kept riding it too fast and it was just a sport tourer not a race rep.. im slowlee working my way back DOWN the biking tree... and have realised in my older age.. the smaller bikes really ARE much more fun to ride... i have 300 scooter for general work/shop/local.. and i will be selling my nc700x for one of these bmw's 310... the perfect combo of weight/speed/mpg .... nice one
👍
Absolutely…
💯 TRUE.
“Not put yourself in stupid situations” that sir is spot on 100% correct. 38 yrs in the saddle stay out of blind spots done lane split at thirty and stop pretending everyone has to look out for you.
I am so happy you posted this. I won the 2021 version of this bike a year and 3 months ago in a contest but did not ride it until like 4 months ago by myself because I did not have money for a motorcycle course and also wanted to buy all my gear before taking that course.
Cool, you enjoy it now bud..
You are wise person, keep it up
Great attitude.Have fun.
I’m very used to smaller motors. They are very happy hanging out at 80-90% of max rpm for hours. I took my 250 from Miami to dc and back many times and sitting between 75 and 80 mph for many hours just made it happier. I don’t get why people say you need more power to ride on the highway.
I wonder the same. Highways are for cruising, not racing. I don't need a lot of speed, I just need enough to keep up and not cause problems for other road users by being too slow or too fast.
I’m 6’2 280LB & this bike was extremely comfortable. It made me fall in love with small CC naked bikes & after not considering them at all I really want one for a first bike lol.
Best review of the g310r on CZcams. Lots of good info and perspectives. I’m taking my endorsement next week and thinking about getting this bike for my first bike. I spent about 4-5 hours watching all the g310r reviews lol
Man, that's exactly what I'm doing now, same situation as you were 😂👌🏼. How did it go? Did you get it?...
@@MiguelMedV Yes! Just came up on my 1 year anniversary of riding with the G310R! It’s a very good beginner motorcycle. Very light and easy to handle, inspires confidence and encourages you learn something new everyday.
I use it to commute to work as my main mode of transportation now. I do mostly around town/city riding. No traffic for me! It’s so nice to fill up with 7$ a week vs 140$ when I drove my truck. The gas savings alone for two weeks pays for the bike. I would highly recommend it to any beginner rider!
I wish BMW had a mid level like a 600
This bike has a great engine. For peoples information this engine is built by Kymco in Taiwan. They also build the BMW Maxi scooter too. A Kymco is sold world wide every 55 sec's 3rd largest producer of scooters of all sizes. Really like this BMW a lot and partial to singles. Good review.
This is my first bike and I absolutely love it. Glad you posted this. The only issues i had with this bike is my height vs my newbie status, and the fact that the kickstand bolt was installed without lock tight and was lost mid ride. (may want to check that on a new purchase) we were able to easily bring back the handlebars with a handlebar riser for extra throttle control in turns and improved posture. The boys also installed a lowering link which allowed for two inches of play. Im much closer to flat footing at 5’4” and this made large improvements to my confidence at stops. The wet weight is about 350, (which once we practiced how to properly lift) was an easy lift for me. Upgrades were less than $300 and well worth it in my opinion, i had no idea how much better the bike could fit me and I absolutely love the ride.
It's fantastic to see that BMW have a beginner's motorcycle. I have had my BMW R100RS since 1985 and have accumulated 493,000 kilometres. Being born in Munich Bavaria. I have been known to be a bit biased towards BMW Motorrad. LoL 🤣
You must be famous in your own wayy.
Thanks for the detailed review mate. Buying mine this week.
Your my go to motorcycle channel for everything I'm about to buy this bike and practice with the techniques you teach in your books and videos very straight forward no bs thank you
This is my very first motorcycle. I got it last summer and love to ride it except on highways if I’ll be on it for more than 15 mins as mentioned in the video because of the rpms being constantly high, it just gets annoying to have the bike screaming all the time. I think if you ride more on the highway, a 500cc should be perfect. Other than that, it’s a phenomenal bike. Very predictive power band, good center of gravity, positioning, great brakes, and looks very cool.
I ride motorcycles since my childhood and I own also big bikes, but I really love my BMW G310 GS (basically the G310R in GS configuration)
Totally awesome bike. I took the G310 GS on a 2000km trip through Switzerland, Italy, France and simply loved it.
Great review
I’m going to start watching your tutorials 👍
At last! Never clicked on your video that fast! Hopefully this is gonna be my first bike soon so i'm really looking forward on your opinion on it. Also i've just managed to overcome sanctions that are really tough novadays at my place and bought motojitsu app and gonna start practice as soon as snow melts. Thanks for your content!
yeah, this was my very 1st bike and loved it so much but had to let it go after about a year for a bigger triumph tiger660 then a ducati urban motard scrambler! thanks motojitsu!
wow 355k subscribers!! you've been working so hard ever since mani think I've been following you since you had 8-10k subs. Much love and appreciate all you do.
I went with 22 BMW G310gs, and I love it!
How old r u
I've been riding this bike for a few months and no complaints - fantastic beginner bike!
I really think I might get one of these as my first bike. There’s just so many cool freakin bikes out there, it’s hard to decide.
Your insight and advice are SPOT ON! I have had my Motorcycle Endorsement for over 50 Years, and I am STILL learning! I'm 69 Years young and have a Gixr 250. It IS a nice and fun little Bike, but I think I WOULD like the extra 8 Horses this Beemer would provide. There are NO freeways where I live, but on open stretches of 2 Lane Blacktop, the 250 is a little weak, LOL!
I started riding when I was 14, and at 18, I took my Endorsement test ride on a Honda CB 750. At my age, however, I'm now partial to the smaller, lighter machines. That being said, put me on a 650 and I will do just fine.
I love BMW cars. I had an X1 I had to sell when I moved and working on getting a 2nd one. I love BMW. Glad I come across your channel. I've been wanting to learn how to bike.
I pretty much have to ride my Duke 390 at WOT in the twisties, been riding it for a year and hit the limits of it's acceleration and speed a while ago. It's not a bad thing tho, now I don't have to think about the throttle I can work on other skills more, like vision and trail braking. It is not my first bike nor my fastest bike, but this is the first bike where I practice basic skills and try to learn how to ride for real.
I love mine, it's a 2022 model and it has so many more upgrades that for its cost, it's hard to find a better deal
This is the same bike I used to get my Basic MSF course for my Permit. Neat beginner bike indeed this.
I bought this bike as my first bike and I love it. I alternate between my g310r and my brother’s s1000xr every other day and I’m not sure which one I like better :) both are fun, and each one has its own advantages. This bike does everything I need, and with 17T front sprocket and an aftermarket windshield it’s pretty decent on the highway - 65mph (104 kmh) at 6000rpm!
Such a good review considering this is the 2020 model, I mean the new one is so much better, the bike doesent vibrate much, the design is upgraded to look even better, all LED lights with beautiful DRLs inspired by Bmw s1000r and the same indicators as the s1000r.
I bought the same model and color today, I am a new rider and I will definitely appreciate the ABS in the summer.
Thanks for this, it helped me out so much in choosing my first bike
Great video and I agree with your views on the power and riding styles.
I've been loving these videos. Please find a Svarpilen 401. I really want to know what you think of that motorcycle.
Your amazing for voice over riding some people are just boring . All your comments are helpful
This is a really fun bike! I bought this for my girl as her first bike and it is incredibly fun and easy to ride. A common mod for these is replace the stock 16 tooth sprocket with a 17 tooth sprocket, it helps make the first 3 gears more useful and on the highway lowers the revs just enough to make it so the little single isn't revving its brains out.
The only bad thing about this bike is that there are very few aftermarket levers and foot controls, end up having to order some dubious parts from China. Despite that we're still happy with the bike because it is just such a very easy and fun bike for a beginner to learn on, but also engaing enough for an experienced rider to have fun on.
The R is a little small for me though, 5'9 34inch inseam, but for my girl 5'5 32 inch inseam the bike is a perfect fit. I think for taller riders the 310 GS would be a great choice, I test rode one of those and its size felt much more comfortable.
Thank you for sharing. I'm thinking about getting this bike to learn on as well.
Any chance of you doing a review of the svartpilen 401 or triumph trident? Those are the ones on my short list for stepping up from my duke 200. Love your stuff.
Great review. I wanna learn how to ride! That bike goes on the short list for possible first bike. Thx.
This bike is excellent!! Great review. I’m a returning rider and took safety course on one. I didn’t like the body position at first but you are right , felt super integrated to bike and loved it after two days. I also own a Guzzi 1100 . Thinking about adding one of these as a second fun, capable bike. I loved it.
Would it be possible to testdrive/review the Kawasaki Versys-X 300 as a beginner ADV or in general?
Thanks in advance.
Keep up the nice content.
Hey Jitsu, do you have a video of your MOTO Vlog setup that you use?
Do you have a video showing how you put the mic in your helmet and keep the wind noise down? Just askin’
Hi Fast Eddie! I've been binging on your videos for the past few weeks, I just got my G310R a couple of weeks ago as my first bike and I'm loving it! I know it's great to learn and perfect for commuting; however, I wanted to take it to visit some friends in Tucson which is 4h away and although you made it seem fine for a few minutes on the highway, I'm not sure if it would mess the bike up a little bit if I ride at 70mph for 4h up there and 4h back at a time. I will obviously wait 6 months or so and practice shorter distances first, I just want to know if I will need to get another bike when I intend to do those trips because I'll have to save a lot more! I was planning on upgrading to an F900R or F750/850 GS in 2 years after I finish paying this one. I'd appreciate your advice!
I'd drive a car. 4 hours is a long time on any bike let alone a smaller naked bike.
I've been riding for 2 years and I still have my beloved G310r it's part of the family now.
review the 310GS as well
would love to ear your opinion on the honda cb650r
Hey brotha love your content. This is a random off topic subject but do you recommend any cold weather gloves for riding in 30 degrees?
Heated grips and elephant ears or other big hand guards. Gore-tex (or whatever brand) over-mittens are solid too.
Thank you for this video. I'm owning 2022 model of G310 R. I really wanted to have your opinion on this bike. Thank you once again.
Expensive for a "beginner" bike but looks fun. Then again, Greg Motojitsu makes every bike look fun :D
I’m thinking of getting the gs version of this or the 390 adventure , do u think it’s doable to do a one off 12 hour journey with quite a bit of motorways, from top of England to Germany
Hi brilliant thanks for this very useful video great
Well done! :)
I was getting some road time in on my MT07 today before the bad weather sets in. It is a blast on the back roads. I did find myself exceeding the speed limit very easily. I could have had just as much fun on a Ninja 400 and have saved myself about 3k if I had bought that instead. I often wonder if I could have had more fun on the Ninja then on the MT07. Now I might see about renting a Ninja 400 and seeing what it would be like.
Z400 is a street bike comparison to Mt 07 (mt03 direct competitor), not ninja400.
Mt07, z400 - street/naked.
N400 - sportbike, different thing, different seating position, less upright
I did my MSF on one these. Nice little bikes.
What about someone who's 6"1 and 190 lbs? Would this be too small? I had a Yamaha R6 but sold it because I feel I'm too old for Sport bikes now at 44, but I do regret selling it because I miss riding. I don't want to spend thousands on a Harley either. I just want a back and 4th to work bike and around town riding.
Can you just test the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401, 2023? I want to know your thoughts on that, it’s in the same category like this BMW, but cheaper. Keep up with this reviews, thanks!
Excellent REVIEW:)
Hey I’m looking to purchase this bike. But I’m wondering how much the service cost is on the bike.
My dream bike ❤❤❤ only problem is that even if BMW and TVS brought it to Uganda it would be too expensive but this is a great collaboration between those 2 giant manufacturers. My first bike was a TVS so I believe you when you say the bike is solid. Best of all where I live I don't see how this bike would be described as small but like I said if TVS would dare ( through Yvaraj ) the price would be the problem but then again the Duke 300 were all bought out ... Eventually good stuff though👍👍👍👍
I bought a 2019 310r brand new. It taught me everything. I put 38,000 miles until the engine stopped working. Great bike to learn on but not to put miles on. I now am happily in love with bmws f900xr which I think is the next best upgrade.
That's the jump I want to do too. Learn as much as I can in my G310R and probably then jump to the F900XR when it dies, haha. I expected to get bored from it sooner but no, in back roads this bike is the super fun!
How does it compare to the Duke 390? Both single cylinder with around the same power.
Most forgiving clutch too! Engine braking is so mild -except 1st gear. Get to 8 mph shift to 2 and fuggedaboutit
For me when i say i need more power for the highway, it's less about needing to be about to accelerate out of situations and more about being able to maintain those highway speeds for a long time.
FL highways flow around 80mph, and even though this bike can do that, i can't imagine going 90 minutes just commuting one way to work is gonna be any good for it...
I'm torn between this one and the Royal Enfield 650 continental dux Deluxe For comfortable just riding back-and-forth 5 minutes to work which one would you go with.
No highway riding.
I have one! Not too fast for me, but it is my third motorcycle! Too bad that I can't ride more than 7 months in Russia (it is cold here)!
Same here in Michigan, USA
@@PeeFunk2008 The opposite here in Australia. Can't ride in the summer when its over 40 deg (celsius).
@@pukavita why?
Some info on the European licenses:
A1: 125cc 1cylinder, 15hp /11kW (16y/o where I live)
A2: 35kW (47hp) or up to 95hp factory restricted to 47hp (18y/o where I live)
A: full license, all motorcycles (requires 2 years experience with A2)
I live in Spain. While the motorcycles you can drive with each license are the same, the required age to get the license varies within each country.
If you restrict a 95hp bike to 47hp you can unlock the power back to 95hp when you get your A license, making motorcycles such as an MT-07 a viable option for the A2. This is the reason why many manufacturers have stuck with 95hp bikes such as the CBR650R. Other manufacturers have "limitable" variant of their bike, for example the 121hp 890Duke has a 890 Duke L variant which has only 95hp, so it can be limited to the 47hp required on the A2 license.
Old license rules in Finland, when i get 1984 (18years old=, get car (B license) get automatic AB whit out any power limits, or motorcykle history. And last summer i just buy my first bike Kawasaki er-5, and driwe 2000km before winter break.
With my old knee the foot angle is not great . But 5. Years on my 310R I’m keeping it
My brother bought it, and I love this bike, Only thing I dislike is the full Digital dash, I prefer analog gauges
I was between this and the z400 for my beginner. Went with the Kawi but I think both are great choices.
You fool!!
I have both, BMW is better
@@tomlabarbara6277 why?
Why better? @@tomlabarbara6277
How about the Honda CRF300L for a review?
I went with an mt09 sp 2021 for my first bike and it’s been good, people love to scare others ohhh that’s a big bike, it’s not
Id lily to see your take on the scram 411
great video
Just got my permit today riding this bike!
Hey! Thank you for the review.
Kindly ask for little help. Looking for lightweight bike to start with gymkhana trainings. Is there any you can recommend from 300-400ccm segment? Would you go rather with BMW 310 or KTM 390 or MT03? Thank you!
ride all 3 and see what you like
We have some as training bikes and they are awesome to ride.
The G310 is really stable and planted on the motorway , no problem at all, it’s a great bike 👍🏾
The best BMW for me is the R27. I’ll buy one today if I can find one.
Nice!! To have a second transportation for local needs, that is a good idea never thought of this. My Q. is, how many miles for gallon and total gallon? In to tank?
Who? To contact?
It's a 3 gallon tank and I get around 60 mpg and I'm around 235 lbs with all my gear.
idk if this is the best beginner bike.. I personally loved my svartpillen 401 as a beginner bike and its the most bang for your buck in the beginner bike catagory. it comes with an up and down quick shifter and fully adjustable front forks. its also an incredible amount of fun being a scrambler type with a very capable engine. I kinda wish I went with an MT07 for my first street bike..but maybe its best I didn't
Vitpilen 401 is my first bike, and i bought it even with friends telling me it will be too slow and what not... needless to say i made the BEST DECISION EVER ! And even friends who tried to sway me,.. after riding it LOVE IT , and have a 10 mile smile after. Surprising little bike and still can get out of its own way.
what's a 600 ish BMW equivalent?
I like light weight bikes. I like the simplicity of that bike!
I got this bike after seeing a previous video of yours about best first bikes for beginners. I test drove or sat in majority of the ones in your list and somehow this one just fit like a glove. Then I got a end of summer sale that made it less than 5000 euros with 5 years guarantee.
It's been an amazing bike and super forgiving! I'm glad I didn't follow my ego and bought a bigger one, even thought I have an A license. This bike is all I need for my commute and the 3 or 4 long road trips I do in a year.
Been riding the same exact bike. It's really quite a great bike for everyday use. I absolutely love it.
my area is offering great deals on the g310r so I am looking into them quite heavily.. and a 5 year guarantee is no joke..
Good choice it’s a fantastic bike, it’s very stable on the highway considering how light it is 👍🏾
@@pcarts232 I agree! I had to do 300km on a highway once and I wasn't as tired as I expected.
My wife wants a bike but doesnt trust her ability to use a clutch are their auto blippers and quickshifters for it?
I went with the mt07 as my "beginner bike". To be fair, I grew up riding dirtbikes, so it was more a beginner bike as far as riding on the pavement. I'm ultimately super happy I opted for a more powerful bike. My favorite thing to do on a motorcycle is explore. Having enough power to be comfortable on the highway at a variety of speeds without wringing out the engine is pretty important to me. I know these smaller bikes can totally do highway speeds. I just don't like feeling like I'm really pushing the engine for long periods of time to keep up a reasonable highway speed. Mechanical sympathy and all that. I have a sense that I could easily ride this bike for the next 10 years and never feel like it needs more power.
I’m thinking about this too, I don’t want to go through a million bikes. I’m a buy it once type of guy. Don’t have time or money to go through 3 different bikes to learn how to ride
@@SoulEraser000 For sure. I guess the one concern with buying an expensive bike for your first bike is that you might not get into it and lose a lot of money on the resale. However, the mt07 is pretty cheap :)
I did a 300km highway ride on this bike and I swear it feels better afterwards. I agree that going at 110km/h or 120km/h is not the speed this bike prefers to be at, but it wasn't as bad as I expected. I was ready to leave the highway and do country roads the moment it felt too tiring, but it didn't happen.
Got to agree with Fast Eddie. I was going to get a bigger machine for my first bike but took Fast Eddie’s (and other CZcamsr’s) advice and went for a smaller, lighter, cheaper bike. Ended up getting a BMW G310 GS on a model run-out deal. (Rego & insurance was half that for a bigger bike.) No regrets. I’m 6’2” and 95kg and the GS fits me perfectly. You won’t win a drag race with an enthusiastic driver at the lights but it easily keeps up with regular traffic up to 100 km/h (62 mph) although it’s sweet spot is 60 - 80 km/h (35 - 50 mph). Being light without a heap of power makes for a very forgiving machine and provides confidence when practising skills in the parking lot. I will get a more powerful bike at some stage for highway touring but for now the G310 is perfect for this new rider.
If you rode dirt bikes then you have better skills than a total beginner. Maybe more skills than bikers who rides only on pavement.
I have always argued that 300cc is all you really need for 90% of your riding.
I just started riding, and I watched this 2 nights ago for research.
I ended up getting this bike because of this video.
Mahalo @MotoJitsu for this.
What was the RPM at 75?
im actually turning 17 this year and my dad told me that hes gonna buy me a bike of my choice, I'm totally new to bikes but I like BMW 310r. Should i buy it or sum other bikes?
*Does it have hazard lights?*
I'm 6ft 1 - thinking of getting back on a motorcycle. I had a Yamaha MT-125, and it was super small for me and lightweight, twitchy feeling. Would you recommend the G310GS for me, or the G310R?
I’m 6’5 215lbs. The g310r is my first bike and I feel super comfortable on it. No knee, or hip pain on it. Don’t even think I look THAT ridiculous.
310R and Gs 310 are Made by TVS and exported outside India. Check Tvs RR 310. It has same Engine
Would it be a good bike if i a. 5,3 5,4
Please review more 400 cc bikes
You have some very good recommendations. I went and test rode a 2022 version of this motorcycles for a friend of mine who is new to motorcycling. Thankfully he decided to buy it, so I did not have to (since I already have four motorcycles in my garage already). It is a very fun and capable motorcycle. Thank you for the great content. Ride safe!
65 yr old wanting to get a bike after 40 yrs away. Been a bicycle rider but looking at motorcycles now. Took and passed a msf beginner course a couple weeks ago. Looking at this or the gs. Which would you recommend? Doubt I’ll go off-roading but think I’d like the upright seating.
If you're not going off roading no need for an off road bike
I have a 310r in the garage. It was my first road bike. I grew up riding dirt bikes and thought that the 310 would be perfect for a beginner bike. And while it is, if you have any prior experience on 2 wheels, you will be begging for more, like I did. I had the 310 for about 3 months then decided to grab a Trident 660. Double the HP, and Torque and I think its the perfect amount. (was gonna go MT07 but couldn't find one and ended up really liking the triumph finish). I ended up passing the 310 to my brother in law with 0"" 2 wheel experience. Completely taught him how to ride with the 310. So that's where I think it really shines. It truly is a beginner bike/commuter but not a long term bike if you're into really getting on the throttle. If BMW made a middleweight bike a G650r, that would be a killer bike. But you have to get the 900 if you want a naked BMW. Great video!
This is me right now…I’ve had the G310R for 3 months and I’ve asked my dealer to make me an offer on the Triumph Trident 660!
@@jidefawole5653 Awesome! Hope everything works out. Its been 5 months since ive ridden the trident.. Weather is a real ball buster right now :/
You answered all the questions I had about riding a 300 on the highway. I have a 10 mile commute to work which I can easily take the streets but the highway is just a quick 3 exits before exiting so was actually wondering how it felt to ride with a 300.
No idea where I heard this or how this idea formed but I kept thinking a 300 is not ok on the hwy because you can get blown off the bike? but everything looks fine from your ride...
I'm just north of SD btw :)
I’ve done 300km on the highway with the G310R. The bike was very much ok, even reached 150km/h sometimes 😅
It’s like top end bike in my country
0:45 nope. In Europe we have 3 Motorcycle licenses, A1, A2 and A.
A1 - meant for 18 year olds. Can ride up to 15kw of power.
A2 - meant for 20 year olds. Can ride up to 35kw (roughly 48 horsepower) of power.
A - meant for 24 year olds. Unrestricted.
Then there is also A Code-80 - this is for 21 year olds that want to get their unrestricted license. So you can go straight for your A license but will have the A2 restrictions until you're 24 or have your license for 2 years.
So the BMW 310 is a decent bike for people with A2 or A Code-80 licenses.
Still waiting for you to ride the 2022 Yamaha XSR 900 ;)
So this g310r vs a ktm 390 duke, thoughts? You seem to like both, they're quite evenly matched although the KTM has more power. Best bike for a total beginner? Differences in your mind? Maybe maintenance and quality? Thx ! Love your channel. Exactly what new riders need.
What are you looking for I think the duke is more fun but they are both great go with which you like better what ever motorcycle you get stay safe 👊🏻 Good luck
