I’m thinking about getting a BMW G 310 R but want to hear from people who own it or have taken it for a spin.

Key Points I’m Interested In:

  • Performance: How does it handle on the road? Any issues with power or stability?
  • Comfort: Is it beginner-friendly? How’s the seating position for long rides?
  • Maintenance: What’s your experience with upkeep? Any expensive surprises?
  • Overall Experience: What do you love about it? Any regrets?

Additional Considerations:

  • How does it compare to similar motorcycles in its class?
  • Any tips for new riders?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

I recently rode the BMW G 310 R and I was impressed by its engine performance. The bike feels responsive, especially in city traffic. It’s perfect for quick accelerations when needed!

Absolutely agree! The acceleration is really peppy for its class. I had no trouble keeping up with traffic on the highway either.

I’ve had mine for a few months now. The handling is fantastic! Very nimble in tight corners and it gives great feedback on the road.

That’s a good point! I found it to be really balanced. Perfect for city riding. It instills confidence in new riders.

I’ve mostly used mine for highway cruising. It’s comfortable enough, although I wish it had a bit more power at higher speeds. Still, a solid ride overall.

7

True! But for city commuting, it shines. It’s very efficient and easy to maneuver around traffic.

I haven’t experienced it myself, but I read about some complaints regarding its top speed. Is that a dealbreaker for any of you guys?

9

Not a dealbreaker for me! The G 310 R is what it is—a fun city bike. You trade off a bit of power for agility and ease of use. It’s about balance! Wouldn’t ride it for long tours, though.

Exactly! And let’s be honest, at least the bike looks great doing it. My friends joke that it’s like my stylish little sidekick!

As long as it’s got some zip, who cares about top speed, right? Plus, it’s perfect for those Sunday rides. Motorcycling is about the fun, after all!

I’ve had my BMW G 310 R for over a year now, and I have to say, the seating position is quite comfortable for short rides. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for long distances as it can get a bit tiring after a few hours.

That’s interesting, uschmidt! I felt the same way on longer rides. The seat itself is plush, but after about an hour, I really start to feel it in my lower back.

14

For daily commuting, it’s fantastic! Easy to maneuver in traffic and the riding posture is upright enough to not strain your back. Just bring a cushion if you plan on taking it out for a full day.

15

Absolutely! The upright posture helps a lot in city rides, but I also find that after a couple of hours, fatigue does set in a bit, especially if you’re not taking breaks.

16

I’m curious, how does the bike handle on different road types? I do some longer rides on weekends and want to know if it feels stable on the highway versus city streets.

17

Great question, jessicamoreno! I’ve ridden it on highways and it’s surprisingly stable, even at higher speeds. Just keep in mind, it’s not built for aggressive touring, so don’t push it too hard!

While the riding posture is great for most, I still feel like the footpeg placement could be slightly better. It sometimes feels cramped after a while, making those longer trips feel even longer.

You’re right, moodyrobert! A few adjustments could enhance comfort significantly. It’s like they designed it primarily for shorter commutes!

I think the bike looks great and that’s half the battle! But if comfort isn’t there, I might not be sold on it. Has anyone managed to modify their seat or something similar?
