BMW G310R will get dual channel ABS as standard.
The BMW G310R has been spotted in India uncamouflaged by a Rushlane reader. The motorcycle is the European specification and not the updated version showcased at the Bangkok International Motor Show 2017.
The unit in Bangkok had a different taillamp, longer indicators and new handlebar grips. Competing against the KTM Duke 390, the BMW G310R will have to come with a competitive price tag even though the BMW badge gives Motorrad leeway to charge a premium.
The single cylinder 313 cc liquid-cooled mill has a cylinder head that has been rotated 180°, lowering the centre of gravity and shifting it in the direction of the front wheel. The fuel injected engine is coupled to a 6-speed gearbox which is capable of producing 34 PS of maximum power at 9,500 rpm and 28 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm.
