@@andysmith9243 well considering I’m from the U.K.. if your on a CBT which all begginers start on for at least a year. You have to have 125cc or 50cc no bigger. And even if you pass your full test you can upgrade from a 125cc until your 19 .... so yes it is the perfect beginner bike

@@millitaryofficial913 that makes sense! I forget how different the rules are around the world. I’m sure you’ll be good with that. Unless you want to race, it’s always much more comfortable to ride something like that. Comfort and casual riding is the best way to go!

I was riding this bike in my motorcycle training course , I loved it so much. I was the only person really giving it throttle in the class. It felt so good and now I’m watching videos on it Because I miss it soo much. I have a Yamaha Ct1 175 , and the difference is insane but obviously there is a 50 year difference. I want to buy this as my next bike whenever I can. Hands down recommend this bike to anyone who is starting out. And before riding this bike I was more of an Harley , Indian cruiser guy. But after riding the bmw my opinion has completely changed and now I want that.

Same I liked it so much I traded in my 600cc sportbike and got a super naked because of the more comfortable upright riding position.

I think BMW is discovering that this is also selling as a great second bike, or for downsizing for us aging baby boomers. It’s a hoot to ride without putting your license in jeopardy and it takes you back to your first bike. Ahh, the feeling of being a teenager again, if only while thrashing this little roadster around. Well worth the modest price of admission.

I have had a few other bikes and have this one. I love it so much! I love the fact that it is 310 and for around town and even highways it is so much fun.

Let’s not diminish the fact that it’s also a great around town bike for those of us who have been riding a long time also. After 36 years in the saddle we appreciate the changes in the smaller cc bikes that are now available with features that didn’t exist back in the 70’s. While stripped down versions of smaller bikes were available they lacked the advantages of todays technologies. Nothing should be considered an entry level motorcycle ever. It’s a tool box, every tool has a purpose. Try viewing the various options that way.

Yeah! I own a 675r Triple but ride my 310 way more because it’s just more enjoyable to ride in Phoenix traffic

Change your fork oil if you want a slower stiffer response. The rear is adjustable and also replacable

Didnt realize you were in Michigan. Thinking about getting one of these as a first bike, I also am in Michigan. Nice video btw

It’s a great first bike and Charlie at BMW will give you a smoking deal. Charlie is the owner of both BMW and Ducati Detroit!

I am 70 years old, I haven’t ridden a motorcycle for 46 years, my last bike was the magnificent BMW R90S. 10 years ago I read of the launching of the R NineT and was struck by the similarity to the R90S, I felt the urge to have another go at riding. The local BMW dealer had an open day recently and invited bikers to come and ride their demo models. Not feeling confident enough to ride the R NIneT I booked a ride on the G310R.

Yoooo it is so weird seeing you drive on 7 Mile. Never expected to see a video so close to home.

I just bought this as my first motorcycle and I love it! looks a lot more expensive than it is, good power, nice variety of info on the dash. I'm going to have to disagree with you on the ride and seat, I think its pretty smooth, and the seat is pretty cushiony, also, great bright LED headlight and lights. the absolute top speed is 100 MPH under perfect conditions. the only thing I don't like is its a tad vibratey but that's to be expected on a single cylinder. I found it to be a little taller, heavier and beefier than I thought it would be when I saw it in person, I actually don't think its an absolute beginner beginner bike if you never even sat on a bike, I would say to at least take some riding lessons first, the seat height is not super low either I could flat foot but I'm 5'11" with a 32.5" inseam, if your much shorter you won't be able to

Hi there. Enjoyed your video. I've noticed that a lot of roadtests on the G310R show people at a cruising speed of 50mph. Is that the because the vibrations are really bad at 60mph+ ? Ride safe.

Will it keep up with highway traffic single 150 lb rider? Is there a warranty? What are the maintenance intervals? Does the dealer actually have parts? Show the accessories? Gas mileage?

Are parts Interchangeable between this and the 310GS like the fairing and lip

Quite cheap in Thailand, because (I think) it escapes the Thai import duties. About 180,000 baht, $5,500.

I own a 2020 TVS RR310, and I have to say it’s an attention grabber. Not many bikes at this price range look as good as it does.

@@BurtoniMotors I own one too. And yes, its a looker. It looks like a 600cc bike. I think its the perfect bike for someone who eventually wants to move to middle weight class. I will eventually move to Honda CBR 650r, for now I am enjoying my 310rr. Btw, the 2021 model has introduced adjustable front and rear suspension, slightly raised foot pegs, brass coated chain and also a little more ground clearance by bending the exhaust pipe differently. All of these new equipments are backwards compatible. These make the bike more track focused.

Definitely getting one soon and haven't gotten my motorcycle license yet lol

Is it possible to check the oil and do your own oil change on this bike. Some bmw’s don’t have the dipstick. I like to do my own maintenance.

What really annoys me is that the G310R is constantly referred to as a beginners bike. It is this stereotyping of bikes that will put off more experienced or older riders that may enjoy the G310R.
