The BMW G 310 R features a modern and dynamic design that reflects its sporty nature. It has a naked street-bike style, characterized by its minimalistic and aggressive appearance. The motorcycle has a muscular fuel tank, a sleek LED headlight, and a high-mounted rear section. It also incorporates various aerodynamic elements, such as the sharp lines and contours, to enhance its visual appeal.
Engine:
Powering the G 310 R is a 313cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine. This engine is equipped with a fuel injection system and four valves, offering a good balance between power and efficiency. It delivers an output of around 34 horsepower (25 kW) and a torque of approximately 28 Nm. The engine is tilted backward for optimal weight distribution and to lower the motorcycle's center of gravity, contributing to better handling and stability.
Performance:
The BMW G 310 R is designed to offer a dynamic riding experience. It has a lightweight chassis, which combines a tubular steel frame with a bolt-on rear frame. This construction provides rigidity while keeping the weight low, resulting in nimble handling and agility. The motorcycle has a low seat height, making it accessible to riders of different sizes and experience levels.
Features:
Despite its entry-level positioning, the G 310 R comes with several features that enhance its practicality and safety.

The motorcycle also incorporates ABS (anti-lock braking system) as a standard safety feature, ensuring better control during braking.
Riding Experience:
The G 310 R is designed for urban commuting and sporty riding. Its compact dimensions and agile handling make it well-suited for maneuvering through crowded city streets and tight corners. The comfortable upright riding position allows for good visibility and reduces rider fatigue during longer rides. The motorcycle also offers a smooth and precise transmission, further enhancing the overall riding experience.
Variants:
In addition to the standard G 310 R, BMW also introduced a variant called the G 310 GS. The G 310 GS is an adventure-oriented version of the G 310 R, featuring additional off-road capabilities, increased suspension travel, and a more upright riding position.

This is why I urge folks to get their motorcycle endorsement. You can do things like this and check out all kinds of different brands and bikes. Have you ridden a BMW motorcycle?
growing up, i remember my dad telling me the BMW was a three cylinder bike. were they all like that? do they still make a 3? just curious.
Oh yeah, in fact they are becoming more popular due to the economy. Triumph, Yamaha, and some others make them I read a while back. Not sure about BMW though.
Got the g310r as my first bike almost a month ago. It’s so fun to ride, and it was the best decision I think I could have made at an entry level.
That's cool man! That's a really enjoyable bike to ride I have to admit. 👍✌️
G310r was my first bike got it about a month ago its so fun.
I’m waiting for mine from the dealership. Can’t wait! My first bike.
@@jeffreybechtle5152 have you got your bike yet?
My first bike too, got it in 2021. After the first service it felt even better. Did a small roadtrip this summer and I'm already planning others for next year. I ride alone and prefer to do back roads so the top speed of 150km/h is more than enough for the rider I am.
got this as my first bike about a year and a half ago. 7000 miles later and i'm still loving it. great first bike to hone your skills on. very confidence inspiring. loooking at an sv650 sometime next year but ill probably keep my 310 just because she's been so good to me and you never forget your first love
Yep, that was a fun bike to ride. I enjoyed it a lot more than the bigger RnineT, but every bike has a purpose. For me, light, nimble, and fun is key. Glad you are enjoying it! ✌
Thanks for for creating the video. I took the big leap into motorcycles with my son this past month. My son bought a Honda CBR300 and I’m waiting for my BMW g310r. I can’t tell how much I’m looking forward to riding together.
That's awesome! The kind of bike doesn't matter as much as the enjoyment one receives experiencing the ride. I wish I had the money to buy a dozen different kinds because they all have their own unique personalities. Enjoy and be safe out there. ✌
Started watching this because I was looking for a starter bike, then realized you were doing my daily drive in Middletown lol! Good review.
Cool! Yeah, small world at times.
Awesome video. Informative and visually interesting.
Thanks for the comment! 🤣 You should get one! JK
I bought my 310R about 2mo ago as my first bike. The only experience I had was MSF course. I’m super happy with my purchase, yeah it’s a little lacking in power(which is good I suppose since I’m a novice) but it is super fun to ride and looks awesome. I almost regularly get comments on my bike from people when I’m out and about.
The G 310 R was really fun to ride. I prefer smaller, more nimble bikes. Those huge heavy motorcycles remind me of operating a semi truck. 🤣 Great for very long trips, but not so much for quick, short jaunts around town. Glad you are enjoying it! 👍🏼😎
Great review thank you
Thanks! I enjoy doing them.
This is great! I have a G310R 2023 and it's an awesome little machine but I hear you on the turn signal placement. It really isn't in an ergonomic position. I'll have to check with my local dealer if they have demo days. I would love to hop on F750 GS. Thanks for the vid!
Demo Days rock! So much fun. That reminds me to check myself. Thanks! 🤣
I’m going one and to one in PA!! Awesome man!!
I see you man! You need to showcase your ride next time. Saw your vid on that demo trip. Keep it going. Good stuff. 👍😎
I rode 310 GS - same engine. Generally I liked it - quite good quality. But the noise of engine irritated me a lot 🙂
I did not like gearbox as well - shifting to neutral was a spot of luck. I'm glad u had fun.
Yeah, it's hard to know until you ride a bike for a longer period of time. Understandable!
Nice video!
Appreciate it! ✌️
BMW, very nice and $5K jeez the ADV150 looks expensive next to it. Thx for the video bud, great material.
Thank you sir. Your comments are appreciated! 🙏😎
Nice one! Just one question, how did you feel the braking system? Does it have any ABS or just standard?
From what I recall disk brakes front/back and ABS. I didn't notice the braking so that's a good thing. It did what it was supposed to do! ✌🏻
Super excited to get this bike, I’m in love with the look! I just wanted to ask if you think it’s sustainable to make long distances with it, like a few hours at least? Thanks!
From the 15-20 minutes I was actually on the bike I honestly felt it was comfortable, but I can't really say what the comfort level might be after riding it a few hours. I try not to be bias in my reviews because I don't get sponsored for any of this, I just enjoy riding other bikes and checking them out. That bike was loads of fun right off the bat. Any bike is capable of going for hours, but the comfort factor is often something to understand after you've owned a bike for a while. Like my Honda ADV 150, the seat is similar to a park bench. But, that can be upgraded. So there's pros/cons to any bike, just have to look at the top priorities and what you would enjoy most. My guess is you'll be fine on this bike, but only time will tell. And, everyone is physically different so what might be comfortable to one person may be the total opposite to another person. ;)
@@Trekopolis That makes total sense, I guess I’ll have to find out myself when I ride it for a while. Thank you and keep up the good work on the channel 👏🏼
I now have about 900 miles on my 310R and overall I like the bike very much. The shifting is very notchy and I hope it will get better. I’m not impressed by the brakes. My RE Himalayan had better brakes. I like the lightness, size, engine and looks.
Ya, brakes are kinda important. Maybe since it's a light bike they don't focus on that as much. Yep, the looks are awesome.
Hello sir,
Great video I like it a lot, question is how tall you are and is it comfortable for guys 6 foot tall and above? Thank you
I would think so. I'm about 5-8, but didn't feel crapped at all. In fact, my bike, which is a Honda ADV150 has floor boards because it's an automatic so that can be an issue for someone taller. The G310R seemed like it would be more adaptable for longer legs. Best bet is to find one and sit on it. I'm sure the fine folks at BMW would love to help you out. 😎
I have a question on this bike where is the emergency light the one that has a triangle, my first bike has it but my bmw doesnt I am kinda confused
There is none. You'd have to install an after market switch for that. There's CZcams videos on that. Just search CZcams for hazard lights. ✌️
Looks like you had a real fun time! The placement of the Honda turn signals messes you up on any other bike! When I get off my Honda moto and hop on my Piaggio scooter, I'm accidentally honking at EVERYONE and have to occasionally look to down to find the turn signal switch! But I actually now prefer Honda's placement of the switches compared to everyone else. So, do we see a motorcycle in your future?
Yep, when I rode home from that event I noticed my turn signals on the Honda were reversed, right like I was explaining in the video where my thumb naturally goes, which is at a downward angle. Anyway, not sure of my bike plans in the future. Still enjoy the automatic Honda, but shifting and more power is fun too! Maybe both? 🤔 Can't justify the cost though right now. Maybe if my channel blows up one day I can own more toys! 🤣
I have this bike it's a phenomenal little bike
Nice! Yes, it was a blast to ride. I enjoy smaller bikes that are easy to handle. 😎
The clutch thing ....that makes it harder to stall, right? And that's a good thing.
I think it makes it easier to shift with the clutch lever where the play is reduced. Not sure about the science behind it though. I just noticed it was very easy to shift!
@@Trekopolis Ride on, ride on, ride on. :)
Hey guys, would you recommend this for a beginner? That’s NEVER ridden before?
Depends on many factors, but it's a light and nimble bike and not overly powerful to get a new rider in over their head. I'd say yes, it's a good starter bike, but there's also many other bikes on the market too. Do you want manual speed or automatic? Things to consider as well. New riders should take a rider's course and learn as much as they can which also helps narrow down bike choices. Good luck! ✌️
I always thought of owning cruisers or sport bikes and when I went to a motorcycle saftey course it show me that it wasn't for me bcs I was not at all comfortable on them. When I sat on a naked bike tho I was very comfortable and I knew it was a type of bike I would buy in the future.
You should go to a motorcycle safety course and test what type of bikes are suited for you. You might like a naked bike but it might not be a right for you, you might feel uncomfortable on them.
But other than that, Yeah this bike is confidence inspiring which a lot of beginner bikes lack and you will love it.
I would say yes, I started on a cheap dirt bike just to learn the controls and once I knew how to ride my fisrt bike was a 900cc lol. Go for it. Also try to do the MSF motorcycle safety foundation courses for new riders. It helps a lot.
Is there anyway you can share with me what the service costs look like for this? I’ve been hearing a lot of concerning numbers.
Reach out to a few dealers and ask what services cost to get an idea. Most dealers charge similar rates for labor. Save money by doing it yourself, but some things are too challenging for most people. If you're somewhat mechanical basic maintenance isn't too difficult on most bikes. Don't let service costs prevent you from enjoying any bike, however. It's part of the experience. Just call around for best deals or learn how to do it yourself. ✌🏻 Good luck!
Okay so the thing is, I'm thinking about buying a G310R myself. But the main thing that's on my mind, is it small and suitable for a "larger" person or wouldn't it fit? It's a nice and cool bike but it doesn't look so big?
I'm about 5'-8" tall, 215 pounds, 30" inseam for reference. It was plenty large enough for me, but to really know and if it's possible, I'd recommend trying it out in person. At least sit on it, see how the controls are and how comfortable your legs are to the shifter, brake, etc. I'd think anyone under 6'-2" would probably be fine. Taller than that and very long legs may feel cramped. So hard to say without trying it out or finding a similar sized bike to sit on. Doesn't matter, just compare similar seat height, bike weight, and style. ✌🏼
@@Trekopolis Yeah sounds good, I’ll try it! Thanks!
think im going to get this
I hope to ride some Kawasaki bikes this weekend, then next weekend more BMWs. The Kawasaki Z400 is an option if you're looking for a smaller bike. Looks pretty sharp and about the same price. I'll try to ride one.
its a bit more mature looking than the z400, which was my fav, but the 310r in triple black seems right up my ally.
A unique looking bike for sure!
Engine seems more happy to rev than other engines is that true?
It certainly felt that way to me!
I think I found my first bike
Literally in dayton ohio. Considering my first bike. Taking a long look at this and a few others.
My channel started as a "hobby" when I purchased the ADV150, but I enjoy testing out other bikes too and that G310R was fun and unique in it's own way. I enjoy both manual and auto bikes. I just need two of them! Maybe one day...
what's the meetup group you're referring to? I'm in mid Ohio as well.
Greater Cincinnati Motorcyclists (GCM)
@@Trekopolis Do you know of a group in Columbus?
@@kitsune4635 No, but try searching Meetup website or Facebook Groups.
Got a g310r as my first motorcycle but did not enjoy it at all, I guess I’m not that into riding after all
I have those moments. But, I'll eventually ride when the mood hits. 😉
Cool. No BMW scooters there?
Surprisingly no, didn't see any. The bike I rode was the lowest CC I could find. Gotta keep in mind what manufacturers top sellers are. Those are the ones they focus on. Still, fun to ride other bikes.
Why put in neutral to park? Leave it in first gear for parking brake effect!
Yeah, you can do that too. It's habit for me, especially on flat surfaces. It was also in neutral when I got on it so left it like it was. In the rider's course they told us to leave in neutral when not in use. So I guess like anything else it's a personal preference, but on an incline I can see leaving it in gear. Good point! 👌
This motorbike isn't from 🇩🇪 GERMANY . It's an 🇮🇳 indian made. Check out guys.
No matter where it's built it is built to BMW standard.
He said that.
[ Enjoyable ] :)
🙏✌️
Que precio tiene esa bestia
$5,000 dependiendo de las opciones. ✌️😎
First the price I don't think the bmw offers enough in this very competitive market. Honda is a bit more affordable and offers more . I believe you're just paying for the name brand. I think bmw could have put more thought into this particular motorcycle to make it more competitive but wouldn't be able to because the price would skyrocket. Can't compete with the Japanese when it comes to tech and value.
Good points. Yep, that BMW logo definitely adds to the value. The G310R is made in India, not Germany. But, it's still engineered by their German teams I read.
It’s liquid cooled not water cooled.
The wiggly video cuts are really annoying.
Yeah, I've learned that certain special effects and gimmicks are not needed. I hear that.
SIXTY FOUR MILES PER GALLON?!!!!
You've made a sale! I'll save a fortune!!
(Assuming I survive.)
My Honda gets 100mpg. 😉 Be safe out there! ✌🏼
@@Trekopolis Motorcycles terrify me.
@@TheCoolProfessor I'm terrified of broccoli. It's all perception.
Enough with the opening music. In her motorcycle review, and not some social rock music blaring.
Other than that great review.
Noted. Thanks for the comment.
This or a ninja 400
At my age and having more belly padding riding a crotch rocket is not very comfy. Maybe when I was sporting a 28" waist back in the day. Not now.
