BMW Motorrad India took its own sweet time but has finally launched the BMW G310R and BMW G310GS with prices starting at ₹ 2.99 lakh. The new G 310 R and the new G 310 GS are the smallest bikes, in terms of size and displacement to have come out of BMW's stables. The New BMW G310R is naked streetfighter while the new G310GS is an entry-level adventure bike. Both motorcycles are manufactured at TVS' plant in Hosur, near Bengaluru and are already exported to markets worldwide. The BMW G 310R was first showcased in India at the 2016 Auto Expo and again at the 2018 Auto Expo along-side the BMW G 310GS with the promise that these bikes will be launched in India this year.

The BMW G 310 R gets a cool, naked design which has been inspired from the bigger roadsters in the BMW Motorrad range such as the S 1000 R. On the other hand, the BMW G 310 GS is the smallest member of the company's famed GS line-up of adventure bikes and the design of the bike too tells you as such. We believe that the BMW G 310 R price in India is a decent one although the advantage still lies with the KTM 390 Duke which is its biggest rival and costs significantly less too.

The BMW G 310 GS price in India too is affordable if you are looking for a small, entry-level adventure tourer. The biggest advantage it has is the first mover advantage. In all probability, this time next year, the KTM 390 Adventure could possibly be launched in India but then, the BMW G 310 GS would have had a year-long head start and trust BMW Motorrad India to cash in on that.
