Nice review 👍🏻 I drove the G310R last week for 2h. The most precise handling of all motorcycle I have ever driven. I'm 59yrs, 5.65 tall and I'm not a beginner. I highly recommend the BMW also for those that are tired of higher, faster, further. Downzising is my intention. The quality is premium and the small BMW offers so much fun. Greetings from Germany.
Thank you! I was also very impressed with the handling of this motorcycle. What I would love to see is a 600cc middleweight roadster from BMW. With their current lineup, there is a pretty significant gap between the G310 and F800.
Love my 2022! Been riding 40+ and wanted something for back roads light highway. Tired of the 900 i had and gave to my nephew, and traded my Grom for a trade. Easy riding, quick and fun, speed limit is 70, don't need a 200hp bike lol
This video was a pretty good G310R review, but at the same time it, at times, looked and sounded like a hostage video. I sort of expected you to say that "they are treating me well and tell my parents I love them." :)
Hahah, this was one of my earliest videos so I was still working on the delivery and pacing. I feel like the quality has improved significantly in my newer vids. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I just bought this bike and found the seat height a bit high, I'm 5'6". You can buy a brand new lower seat from BMW for £210. They were over £300 originally
The BMW G310R is actually manufactured by TVS, not BMW, regardless of the partnership. GREAT review however. Thanks for your opinions based on your experience!
I’m not a beginner I’ve taken the MSF course three times in my eye. I start riding motorcycles in 1990. I am 5 feet 4 1/2 and inches and I’ll live in northern Wisconsin on dirt roads and small two-lane roads. What do you think do you think this would be a good fit for me? I’m old now I am 67 years old 67 I guess sounds old anyway what would you what would you say? I have a couple of bikes in my garage and I’m getting a snowmobile, so what do you think?
The G310R is designed to be a roadster for paved roads. If you are going to be riding on some dirt roads, take a look at the BMW G310GS. It is the same engine and similar design, but meant to be used as a dual sport bike. I like it a lot!
Hi, I own an exact bike and thinking of upgrading it to a Ducati Monster 937 Plus, which is coincidentally the same pathway you took. Did you have a hard time adjusting to the throttle of the Ducati and did you find it overwhelming when you upgraded? Just wanting to get some advice and tips. Thank you
The electronics on the Ducati Monster are very good and you can adjust the riding modes for throttle sensitivity. I started in Rain mode the first time I was on the bike, which cuts the horsepower to 75 and makes the throttle much more forgiving. The throttle response is very predictable as long as you have practiced your throttle control. But, which you crack the throttle open, it can be startling the first time haha. The Monster is a very powerful bike but also manageable. You'll also find the handling to be quite similar to the G310 - very light and nimble. Here are a few of my videos you can check out to get a feeling for the ride: 1. Discussion of all the various riding modes: ua-cam.com/video/GHIx2OAiifo/v-deo.html 2. Full in-ride review: ua-cam.com/video/5H2c7iN9EmY/v-deo.html
@@Dr.MichaelsMotorcycles thanks so much for the advice. I normally use my ninja on the highway as the g310r lacks in torque and speed. Do you find the wind a problem on the highway with your Ducati? That’s the only thing that’s steering me away from it at this stage coz I have read that naked bikes dont handle wind very well on a highway.
Sorry for the delayed response, just seeing this! Yes, wind on the highway is an issue and is not very comfortable for me. But, this is a problem with all naked bikes. However, there are some aftermarket wind screens by Puig and others for the Monster, which will give some wind protection.
Wasn't expecting to find a review from someone else who bought their g310r from Bob's. I just got mine in March. Are you local to the area? I've been trying to find fun (non-highway) routes to ride on.
Nice! How are you enjoying it so far? Yes, I live fairly close to the dealership - Baltimore County. I rarely ride on the highway so I know a lot of great roads up here. Feel free to send me an email - my contact info is on my main channel page.
you're right, it DOES sound like a nasty lawnmower, but hey... it's not a 1500cc bike so what ? It's a great machine AND it is a BMW ! - - Ha ha 88 mph, just enough to slam a FLux capacitor on there and take it in to the future !

@@Dr.MichaelsMotorcycles I totally agree. For example a roadster or half a NineT with 600ccm and a boxer engine would be my dream bike.
What about riding dirt, gravel roads ? I live in northern Wisconsin
@@kathleenk8423 Check out the G310GS! Designed as a dual sport - the G310R wouldn't be great on dirt/gravel.
Finally some does BMW 310, I just bought mine 2023 and I’m a new rider so I look forward to more of your videos
Thank you! I am planning a series of videos for beginner riders.
I have the 2017 model as my first bike and after 2 years and 13k miles couldn’t agree more,
I love my bike!

Completely agree! The handling is also excellent on curvy roads due to how light it is.
@Dr.MichaelsMotorcycles oh yeah, so light my older bike was 600lbs! 82 Honda CB900C 10 speed, high lo switch lol 😆 shaft drive.... beast

@@Dr.MichaelsMotorcycles Noted. :)
5 foot 4 with a 27 inch inside leg. I can’t touch the ground, on them😢
There is a low seat option as well that you can look into!

is this just a KTM 390 re-badged..?
It is made in conjunction with TVS motorcycles so it is more like the Apache RTR 310. The engine is also shared with the Apache 310RR.
Here is what I own
Can’t get my pic to load up
No worries, what's the make and model?
