I bought one in 2020 and absolutely love it! It handles beautifully and is really agile and easy to zip around on - like a sports car. I mostly use it on the curvy, country roads of Pa. and it is perfect. Very good torque and acceleration. And it sounds great!
Thanks for sharing this! Curious if you have lots of wind buffeting on this? I love it, but I don't like a lot of wind on me. Thumbs up on a nice little review! 👍
You will get lots of wind as there is no fairing, which is true for all standard/naked motorcycles. There is no buffeting though because of the lack of fairing which causes turbulent air if it’s not enough to deflect around you. It will be just clean air, as if you were riding a dirt bike down the road.
Picked up a 2022 "used" with 900 miles! Still had the full warranty and I added a Puig windshield. Perfect for back roads, highway driving not the , best I hit 92 mph. City driving is a breeze, great for beginners and vets. A fun sized bike at a very affordable price
You hit 92?? How buzzy was the tank feeling?? I just got to like 70 in 6th on my 24’ and it definitely felt like it wasn’t a fan of going that speed. Not too satisfied about that. Lmk
@alexvolpe67 oh, that bike isn't meant to do 92, that was on the Speedo and GPS. Vibration and felt light. I'm happy with 70/75mph, I'm Old lol! Did 130 tops on my older Honda, that had some go. Love the BMW but it's limited.
I’d say go for the Z400 to get a little more power for highway riding and passing without being too much. Will likely be more reliable as well as Japanese bikes are just about bulletproof at this point. I think the G310R is for people that just want a BMW over one of its competitors. It’s made in India so it’s not their German stuff like the rest.
@@basedpatriotLT I haven’t rode a z400 so based on specs. It’s just much more power for the same money. Like 30% more and will likely be more reliable as Japanese bikes are known for that. It’s really personal preference.
Honda CB 300r not exactly a speedster, loses to 310, bmw has 3 year warranty vs 1 yr from japanese brands. Also India has made bikes for many years, royal enfield for example. @@BlackRiverRider
Your best bet might be browsing some Reddit or g310r forums and see. That’s usually where the latest updates come from. Dealers will probably gaslight the issue if it’s a big problem
I don’t think a 300 is too much anywhere to be honest. Top speed is fairly irrelevant on the street in my experience. It’s more about acceleration/torque. This bike is great for city riding.

It’s plenty for that type of riding. Thanks for watching!
Exactly what I needed to see. Just found your channel. I'm in Castle Hayne.
Nice to see local people watching. Thanks!
Love the sound tbh, and you laughed more on this bike than some of the other bikes js 👀🤣
It was very fun for sure!

really not sure about this or the z400. thanks for the review

@@BlackRiverRiderdid you test z400 or just saying based on specs?

I like small and light - sounds like my scooter lol.
The smaller bikes are underrated for how fun they are.
Bought in 2018 still runs like a brand new very good bike
What about gear shifting? is that smooth
Yes, very smooth. It’s a great overall experience. It just doesn’t have as much power as it’s Japanese competitors is the only thing.

Very good points.
Where are you at ???
This was in Wilmington, NC at Cape Fear BMW
Can anyone tell me if they fixed the leaking coolant problem I've read so much about when searching for reliability on this model?

Made in India 🇮🇳 ❤
No doubt
Indian cities really don't need more than 70mph, that's way too much.
