Indian made BMW G310R listed on Malaysian website for Rs 4.11 lakh

The highly anticipated BMW G310R was displayed at the 2016 Auto Expo and is due to be launched sometime this year. Recently, a Malaysian classified website has been found with an advertisement, which hints at bookings for the motorcycle, where it has been priced between RM 25,000 and RM 30,000 (Rs 4.10 lakh to Rs 4.92 lakh).

The G310R has a 313cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. This engine churns out 34bhp at 9500rpm and has a peak torque of 28Nm at 7500rpm. It is mated to a six-speed gearbox. The bike has a claimed top speed of 145kmph and fuel efficiency of 36kmpl. This power figure will put the bike just between the Duke 200 and the Duke 390.

In the feature department, BMW has loaded the G310R with a thick 41mm upside-down fork at the front and a monoshock with adjustable preload at the rear. The braking power on the bike is taken care of by a 300mm single-disc with a radially bolted four-piston caliper at the front and a 240mm two-piston caliper at the rear with two-channel ABS as standard. Moreover, the bike has a competitive kerb weight of 158kgs.

The muscular street motorcycle will be manufactured by TVS at their Hosur facility and will be exported worldwide. We are expecting the BMW G310R to be priced between Rs 2 lakh and Rs 2.4 lakh in India.
