TODAY WE TALK ABOUT BMW G 310R

The BMW G 310R is a standard or naked motorcycle developed by BMW Motorrad in collaboration with TVS Motor Company. It marks BMW's first modern sub-500 cc bike. It was shown in November 2015, and BMW said sales will begin in 2016.

The bike is powered by a four-valve 313 cc (19.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder engine that BMW says produces 25 kW (33.6 bhp) power at 9,500rpm and 28 N·m (21 lbf·ft) torque at 7,500 rpm. The configuration is unusual in that the intake is at the front and the exhaust is at the rear of the engine.^[1]

BMW will release the G310 GS, an adventure bike based on the G310R in late 2017.BMW Motorrad announced in 2013 that they were collaborating with TVS Motor Company for production of series of sub-500 cc bikes. These bikes were targeted for markets with prominence of lower-cc bikes and to be released as entry-level bikes. This was the first time that BMW Motorrad ventured into developing the sub-500 cc bikes.

BMW K03 was the code-name given to the first collaborative product of TVS-BMW. It was a test bike which was developed in India and sent to Germany for further testing and modifications.

In October 2015 in Brazil, the BMW G310 Stunt was the first concept bike unveiled by BMW Motorrad.The commercial version of the concept was officially unveiled by BMW Motorrad the next month, at EICMA 2015 in Milan, Italy, and was shown at the 13th Auto Expo 2016. The bike is expected to be commercially released after the 2016 event in India.

Like the KTM 390 series, which is designed in Europe by Austrian brand KTM , the G310R is marketed in different segments in different countries. The Indian website Rushlane, based on a BMW promotional video, calls the G310R "not an entry level motorcycle but a premium lightweight and compact roadster", while the US magazine Cycle Worlddescribes the same bike as "entry-level" and "a compact city-type roadster
