Adventure motorcycle enthusiasts rejoice! The BMW G 310 GS has been spotted in India. Although not testing, but on the back on truck, in transit. While its naked streetfighter sibling, the G 310 R has been spotted testing on a few occasions, this is the first time that the G 310 GS has been spotted in India. BMW Motorrad officially made its entry into India last year and started out offering its high end motorcycles first. The BMW G 310 R in particular, was supposed to be launched at least a year ago, but BMW wanted to establish a strong and a relatively wider dealership base before it started selling its more affordable models in India. After a string of delays, BMW says that the G 310 R and the G 310 GS will be launched in India by mid-2018, which is not more than a month away.

It will have 41mm upside down forks at the front along with a monoshock at the rear. The GS though has more suspension travel at 180 mm, which is 40 mm more than that of the G 310 R. The monoshock is adjustable for preload though. The G 310 GS has the same 11-litre fuel tank as the G 310 R and weighs 169.5 kg (kerb).
The G 310 GS will be the second ever budget adventure touring motorcycle to be launched in India after the popular Royal Enfield Himalayan. In typical adventure and GS fashion, the G 310 GS gets the front beak like protrusion along with the radiator shrouds and the headlamp cowl.
The expected pricing for the BMW G310 GS should be between Rs. 3 lakh to Rs. 3.5 lakh.
