Excellent review. I bought a Honda xr150 as my first motorcycle in 25 years back in September. After 2 months, went back and got a 310GS. Been riding that for about 4 months now and enjoying the BMW very much (though still have the xr150 as a spare bike). I can see moving up to a larger bike in another year or two, but for now the 310GS is a fantastic intermediate bike in my opinion.

Great review. Im close to 5000 mi on my 310GS. Absolutely love it. Fun and easy to ride. Reliable. It was Short on fuel range but since I went to a 17T front sprocket it gets better mileage and much better at highway speeds. Best $20 Mod out there.

@Sasqmoto I agree. If I didn't have plans to keep this bike I wouldn't spend the money. But I'm keeping it long-term, so I want a better suspension. A 15T would gear it way down. I don't do any single track so no need to do that for mine.

Youre review is spot on. I have a 2018 G310R and have not had a single problem. I use it for convenience runs and it is always a pleasure to ride. I live in South Africa and the traffic here is not youre friend and I never felt that I need more power. The discussion of these bikes being underpowered is irrelevant. You know that you get what you pay for and that engine capacity determines the power output. The Ktm 390 is nearly a 100cc more. I learned to ride on a 50cc and the difference between the BMW and KTM is sufficent for a complete bike on its own.

@Sasqmoto

Hi, Thank you for the compliment. It's nice to hear from others around the world. I am glad that I am not the only one that feels the power is sufficient. it goes and it's a blast to ride, never a dull moment. it does a great job for what it is. Thank you for the comment and ride safe!

I"m the same size as you and I'm surprisingly comfortable on this bike that's smaller than it looks. I bought mine new, sight unseen, over the internet, without even seeing one in person, so the fit was a relief although I am planning on getting the tall comfort seat from Seat Concepts to give me a little more leg room at the expense of making it more difficult to mount (I got old somehow and the hips don't work very well) and making it an inch more difficult to put a foot down. I wanted larger pegs for off road use so I spent $200 (ouch) on Pivot Pegz, but they are very nice. I've had my 2019 G310GS for 3.5 years. The generous three year factory warranty has expired, unused. Like you, I've had zero problems. It's never been back to the dealer because I do all of my own maintenance, annually, per the service schedule. I got a good deal on my new G310GS because it was one that BMW took back from the dealer to fix the kickstand issue and it was returned to the dealer in the fall with the 2021 models coming in the spring so BMW and the dealer lowered the price to move it in late October. I'm still farkling. I recently mounted some ridiculous 18,000 lumen amber LED lighting but I still need to wire it. I highly recommend the Koso Apollo heated grips. The inside of the right grip needs to be filed to thin it slightly to fit over the throttle sleeve but once installed it looks like factory heated grips - very high quality and no goofy control box. The controls are all integrated into the left grip. This is the first time I've had heated grips and I was surprised that I use them all the time. I'm installing a heated seat when I upgrade to the Seats Concept seat. My only real con is the 2.9 gallon fuel tank. An ADV bike should have a 5 gallon fuel capacity or more. The fairings could be extended more to provide even more wind and rain protection for the rider's legs. For now, I carry two 1 liter fuel bottles, which is a lousy way to add 30 miles to the range. I most go on 300-400 mile day rides but I'm looking forward to many more moto camping adventures on my G310GS. Thanks for the video. I wish there was no soundtrack, but starting around 13:00 it was so loud that I wasn't able to hear your comments.

Ай бұрын

yes here it is kzread.info/dash/bejne/eKl3j6qihNKagcY.html I also have a whole playlist with over 30 videos on the baby g 😀

I have mine in Colombia. I've only been able to ride it for about 3 months. I crashed it so many times over there, mostly because of the fact that I have only a 30 inseam, and up in the Andes, nothing is flat, and there is constant treacherous terrain, to have to deal with. So, while I'm at my home in Alaska, I'm occasionally ordering aftermarket parts and new gear, to send to my place down there. That bike has the perfect power and speed for everything I'm willing to ride through, down there, but it's tall for me, so I tend to get off camber quite a bit, just trying to park, mount, and dismount the darned thing. Just sent down the Touratech suspension lowering kit, which I hope will help me avoid laying it over on its sides. I'm also disabled, so that doesn't make it any easier. I used to ride a 1000 ADV bike years ago, and that thing would be more of a pain on the rear, to use down there. Contested city traffic, to narrow twisties in the mountains, to the asphalt disappearing to be replaced by massive washed out pathways at times. Even the little towns in the mountains have super steep roads and store fronts, that offer super awkward angles lined with so many other motorbikes. Using large motorcycles is considered super ridiculous by almost everybody down there. I actually would love to get a 300ish maxi scooter down there as well. Something I don't have to swing my leg over to mount it, and that would be so much more practical and commonly used by majority of the commuters there. They actually use mostly 125's, give or take a few. I weight twice the average Colombian though, so 300's generally put me in the most efficient, yet highly entertaining and comfortable size and power range, for the area.

@Sasqmoto

That's a very interesting take on the your situation. You should post some videos on the Colombian roads. I would love to see them. There is also a lower seat that you can get that might help.
