BMW G310 R price is not the reason why the company wants you to be in their showrooms but there is a lot on offer…
Right, what we have just got is the first ‘real’ rival against the benchmark KTM 390 – a benchmark in cost-to-power, cost-to-experience because in simple words the BMW’s smallest is being made in India, like KTMs, it is made by an Indian firm, like KTMs and in international markets the placement is absolute direct rivalry!
The Germans have officially launched the all-new G310 R Roadster as well as the G310 GS in India at an event. Let us talk about the R in this story and for the launch and price details of the GS, you can click here.
G310 R looks every inch a BMW Motorrad design which we have seen and adored for all these years. The naked is being made available in in India three colours – Racing Red, Style HP (which is nothing but the pearl metallic white shade) and Cosmic Black – yes it is the 2019 version that gets launched.

So, BMW thinks that their moniker can attract a premium of Rs 60,000 over the comparable Duke 390. We will reserve our judgement till we ride the R but it appears to be a slightly steeper tag for what is on offer. Still, it is the least amount of money you will have to spend to venture into the premium world of ‘BMWs’.
Bookings are already open across the limited BMW Motorrad dealerships in India. It comes with a 3 year unlimited mileage warranty which is also extendable to 4th and 5th years (details of extended warranty awaited).
