The New BMW G 310 GS Thread~

Hello

It is winter here, it will only get to the mid 80s today. I just got back from a 150 mile ride for brunch. So when you meet me on the road will you still wave?

No, about average for coffee or lunch. My longest one-way was just under 7000 miles when I rode my F650GS back to Alaska. My youngest son rode with. It was the best trip ever.

The BMW G 310 GS. Everyday adventures.
Be spontaneous, break the routine, and make everyday life into an adventure. Whether it’s your daily commute to work in the city, a trip through the countryside, or through forest trails and rough roads, the G 310 GS promises pure riding joy for everyone. It carries you through the urban jungle and allows you to take on any challenge with precision, confidently and carefree. With this machine, adventures don’t have to be big to be unforgettable. What matters is that you experience them every day.

Typical GS.
This bike is unmistakably a GS – robust and diverse. With its classic adventure design, the G 310 GS embodies the GS Spirit. The renowned GS ergonomics bring a commanding riding position on any surface.

Light and confident.
The G 310 GS makes for relaxed riding. It’s arranged in a balanced way, making it easily reachable for riders big and small. The bike is agile and steers easily and precisely through the city or along forgotten streets to the next adventure.

Dynamic mixture.
The bike’s single-cylinder engine is striking. Its unconventional engine arrangement lowers the vehicle’s center of gravity, and offers endless riding comfort and control. Inside this machine, you will find the unmatched quality and expertise that can only be found on a BMW Motorrad bike.

Extremely well equipped.
Dual-channel ABS is included as standard equipment, and naturally there's a range of special accessories so you can configure your ideal ride.

Great! So when is BMW going to make a bike designed for less than premium, high octane gasoline?
