    I rode since I was 16. I am now 63. This bike is perfect for anyone that has realized that you do not have to have 150 hp to have fun and to ride. The BMW G310R is a great bike for any rider that needs an affordable bike, that is cheap to insure, fun to ride and will stand the test of time.

    Just picked up a 2022. Love it I'm a big guy, 220lb, and I got my bike up to 92mph. Plenty fast, and grab some nice full finger gloves, you go down you'll thank me

      And I mistakenly changed "fast" with "quick". I was focused more on the torque. I should've clarified, but I was a beginner so I didn't know much lol

    I owned this bike and I still miss it might go get another. As for high speeds it's perfectly safe you gotta stop blaming the bike fast or slow bike someone is still gunna merge into your lane without warning and your bike is not fast enough to compensate for being caught off guard no matter how powerful it is

    • @DonsGarage01
      @DonsGarage01  Před rokem +4

      Good point, being attentive always works but having more power most definitely gives the biker another option for an "escape route". Not a blame to the bike either, I'm giving a review on what I've noticed for my personal riding style.

  • @PopsRacer61
    @PopsRacer61 Před 4 měsíci

    That was a GREAT REVIEW 'My Guy'!!! I been riding bikes since 1985 Legally (LOL)...I'm now 63, and younger and even older new riders always ask me what type of bike should I get? How many cylinders?, How many cc's etc.. I always tell them, it depends on what type of riding you anticipate. Get a racer for the track if you plan on racing or doing well over 100mph. Get a dual sport for the street and wilderness or dirt roads, get a middle weight (600 - 800 cc's) for the street & track blahh, blahh, blahh 🤠

    I have a G310R 2020 and 3 way more powerful bikes, Dude just drop a gear and floor it, that will get you out of trouble. I absolutely love it and drive it on the twist's and highway's. Super comfortable bike. OMG so many pros. the only conn is when I start it cold in the morning it takes several times to stay on. Took it to the dealership they had no fix for this.

    • @nikoobjedovic3524
      @nikoobjedovic3524 Před rokem

      Completely with you on the downshift and go. Ofcourse a little one cylinder wont be torquey in 5th gear at such low speed haha.
      The cold start issues unfortunately plague this bike, thankfully I'm in a climate where its never really THAT cold and the bike is garaged, however as the dealership said, as of now, there is no fix....

    What do you mean that you are "technically" a beginner. Nobody would use "technically" when they are riding for 2 weeks. They would literally be an actual beginner, no "technically"

    • @DonsGarage01
      @DonsGarage01  Před rokem

      Ah was thinking in my head, I had the bike longer than I was able to ride it due to being busy etc. So according to time, I felt less of a beginner, but according to practice definitely a beginner.

    In my country Kosovo,in Europe,this bike is fast enough.
    It is like buying an 2011 Audi A3 170 HP TDI Sportback.
    Same power to weight.Same 402m time.
    So in sense it is enough!
    Only problem bikes have is highway? Cars are closed and even underpowered cars can easily go in highway compared to bikes.
    Bikes suffer in aero department! Otherwise are the best allaround.

      Dirt cheap OEM parts, if you do the work yourself, its really nothing.
