Of the many things that the Chinese auto industry is known for, one of them is the blatant copy of automotive designs. Complete cars and motorcycles have been replicated in China by the local manufacturers with only the basic changes and the different badge, of course. While we've seen a number of examples in the past, the latest victim of what should be a copyright infringement is the BMW G 310 GS. The Indo-German motorcycle now has a Chinese replica in the form of the Everest Kaiyue 400X, and much like the G 310 GS, this too is a small-capacity adventure motorcycle.
The BMW G 310 twins have found its niche amidst motorcycle enthusiasts even as newer offerings enter the 300-500 cc segment. In its one year of sales, the bikes have made their way into several celebrity homes and the latest one is that of ex-Indian cricketer Sourav Ganguly. The Indian cricket's "Dada", as he is fondly called, recently took delivery of the new BMW G 310 GS. The adventure tourer is priced at Rs. 3.49 lakh (ex-showroom) and was delivered to the cricketer in Kolkata. BMW Motorrad India shared images of Ganguly taking delivery of the new motorcycle on his social media handles.
BMW's smallest adventure offering promises to offer touring capabilities like its older siblings while being capable off-road as well. That said, both the Versys and the Himalayan have had their share of experience in the wild and despite their respective shortcomings, are competent products. Here's a look then, how the BMW G 310 GS takes on the Royal Enfield Himalayan and the Kawasaki Versys X-300 on paper.
The BMW G 310 GS adventure tourer was recently spotted at a dealership in Chennai, indicating that dispatches for the bikes have already begun. The recently spotted G 310 GS was wearing the BMW's signature Pearl White Metallic body colour
