BMW Motorrad India has announced that the company has received over 1,000 bookings for the updated models of the G 310 R and G 310 GS, since they were launched on October 8, 2020. Both motorcycles were updated with a BS6 compliant engine, new graphics and colour options and some styling changes as well. The biggest USP though was the price revision. The new BMW G 310 R is priced at Rs. 2.45 lakh while the G 310 GS is priced at Rs. 2.85 lakh, making the BS6 models Rs. 54,000 and Rs. 64,000 cheaper than the BS4 models respectively.

While BMW has not shared model-wise break-up of the bookings between the G 310 R and the G 310 GS, we have been told that traditionally, the ADV range of BMW does better than the roadster range in terms of bookings and sales. The engine on the BMW G 310 R and the G 310 GS is the same as the one on TVS Apache RR 310. Since the RR 310 uses a BS6 compliant engine which displaces 313 cc and makes 33 bhp at 9,500 rpm along with a peak torque output of 28 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm, the G 310 twins get the same engine in a similar state of tune. There is a 6-speed gearbox on offer with a slipper clutch as standard fitment. Plus, the motorcycles now get ride-by-wire technology as standard too.
