A well balanced review! Kudos to the team to give a 360 degree coverage of both the bikes, including the cost of ownership factor that many channels conveniently ignore. Well done!
I have ridden both the bikes and finally bought BMW for the comfort and handling it offers.

Smart choice. Even though they have Adv tags both the bikes can't take one to real locations hidden gems because they are not hardcore offroaders. On the other hand X-pulse a real adv to the core. Few more months we may even have X-pulse 300 in the market.

A very good review of the two motorcycles. We want some more with the other machines as well. I loved the way the service costs were also added to the review. Keep continuing this work which eases up our efforts....
Good review but I wish ktm was actual adventure bike, nothing can be compared to an adventure bike.. performance, electronics, sharp handling is something I would look for in a sbk not a adv bike, comfort/ergos/low end power is priority
Class > Craze This will always stay true for me. BMW G 310 GS is not only aggressively priced this time around, but the cost of ownership has also gone down significantly. For me the three letters that I will stand by will be BMW
The last part of comparison between general servicing cost was something I was looking for for a long time to be included in videos. Pls keep these on all your videos.
Too good... unbiased reviews are always welcomed 👍
Being an owner of bmw 310gs i can guarantee no other bike can give you the comfort it provides best ride quality ....drove it around 300 kms at a stretch without any stoppage believe me i had no issues ..... Ktm (with more power and much more advanced features)seat is very well cushioned, not suited for long distance, the suspension too is on the harder side....
The KTM is just fab. No comparison with BMW310. It out shines is all respects. Use the bike more and you will be surprised by its performance. Everything is awesome
Huge network is very important especially in Asia where potential customers no need to worry about spare parts, after sales service, warranty etc. Thanks Autocar India.
Test rode both of these. Hands down KTM is a better machine. The BMW did not put a smile on my face even when I took the second test ride. You feel that there’s something off with the motorcycle. Hop on the KTM and there’s a big smile on the face😄 The gearing on the BMW is absolute trash, and if you are a motorhead you’ll notice it immediately. The refinement levels are also not good. The machine has no soul to put it one way. I was avoiding the KTM only for how it looks, but once you’re past that, and you know what it is made for, it is an absolute fun bike to own. You can modify it with powerparts in the future to your liking and more! One more thing, the dash on the bmw (the one thing you look at all the time) is nothing compared to the beautiful tft display you have which makes you feel you’re riding something special. Should have been opposite ways but🤷🏻♂️
finally, someone understood the missing review. Appreciate it.
Don't blindly believe that slightly more power makes the KTM more VFM. G 310 GS is purpose-built and will serve you better than the KTM everywhere you plan to take it.
Great review... covered all the points that one needs to know! I think these bikes should be re-labeled as Touring Adv's.
Yes finally ☺️ . Autocar a bit late . But such a good review... Worth waiting.
While cost of ownership looks higher in the bmw, I like the fact they have 10k/1year interval. 👍 Heck my honda car has 6 months interval and its a giant PITA 😏
Finally a channel with content and not a product placement advertisement or a giveaway. And a worthy comparison, much needed.
I have ADV 390 , really happy with my choice.
Booked 310gs

when r u getting it?
I enjoyed the video. It helped me a lot. There's one thing I'm curious about. I heard that 2021 G310GS does not have a function to turn on and off ABS. Is there any problem with driving on the rough road? from Korea.
What a rivalry!
Best mid range adventure bikes comparisions bring by you thats really good.
A very good thought-out comparo, instead of giving up to snob value of the BMW badge they spoke the real thing. Especially about the cost of ownership and servicing. A very neutral review.
Best comparison ever🔥🔥🔥
Both nice bike.. small size adventure at reasonable price .. good for long ride , off road , or daily ride , and fuel consumption not bad ..
Being a BMW fanboy I badly wanted to buy the GS. When it came down to pull the wallet and get it out of showroom, I realised that why pay so much for so less. So, took out the 390 adventure. Bang for bucks. I will be fanboy at another time.

I own a bmw car (2008 528i) so while not a speed demon, it is perfect for my hour long highway commute to work. So I'm looking at a bike for long distance touring and cross country, so I'm looking at things like the 650gs or the 700
The video i wanted desperately
Finally my awaited video 😍
Quality content and very well explained 👍🏻💯
This is what i was searching for week, thank you AutoCar India ❤️
Awesome comparo and I love both bikes ❤️
IN the manual on line for Canada the serves are 7500 Km for the KTM 390 Adventure not 5000 Km factor in the cost of parts and oil, oil filter, air filter much les cost on the KTM they come out pretty even in the end.
I feel yezdi ,xpulse 200 and Himalayan are what we call a true adventure bike.
Make a review on bmw g310r fast as possible 🙏,much neede.
Really waiting for KTM 390 adv vs bs6 himaliyan really confused which to buy ?
Great job guys!!
Finally Duke 390 adventure ❤️after test ride of bmw it's and service cost after 3 service is very much in High side in bmw..
This is the review that I have been waiting for. Excellent info all round and genuine unbiased opinions. Awesome video.
Much needed comparison
Fricking oil filter price.. woah.. then in that case what will be the cost of those brake pads
Please do a review on the new multistrada 950s
Sir which one best own your opinion 390/BMW , faster or standard
where is this place where the video was shot??
No matter how good the KTM is, you'll find people who blindly believe and support the BMW, label matters. 😁
please make a comparison video on suzuki gsx s750 and kawasaki z900
bmw 310 gs is now 4.25 on road in bangalore and im hearing a LOT of alternator, battery and gear pin issues. Can this team find out and update consumers? Also heaed smaller sprocket fixes low end torque issue in KTM
One of the important point which is not mentioned in this video Engine cooling is well managed in BMW than KTM. KTMs always had engine heating issue
BMW GS 310 40year edition looks out of this planet.
Comparison between ktm 250adv and BMW 310 gs please
BMW G 310 GS is not only aggressively priced this time around.
Why doesn't anyone just tell BMW that the instrument panel is a deal-breaker for many. At least provide a panel like the one available in RR310!!!
It takes a whole whopping 7k to service your bmw for the first time. They've got a whole lot of updates to it,that don't come for free (like android)
Bmw will eat ur 20k difference in every 2 Service.

Buy and install ergo seat from ktm powerparts. It is much softer. Problem solved
You talked about suspension, but didn't talk about the adjustable suspension on bmw g 310gs, which is a big factor whether you drive on road or off-road. You can make it soft or firm as you like. Which is a BIG tick box for some people.
review on bmw g310r too
According to Motorinc all ktm feature don’t function as intended, is that true ?
Hi i'm 5.6 will i be able to ride KTM 390 comfortably?
Rishabh what's your height bro. And how comfortable you felt on the KTM 390 Adv. Am somehow stuck on the 390 hence want to be sure. Am 5'9" hence wanted to check if it's seat height will pose any issue

No it won't. I am 5'8 and had no problem with it. The only thing that bothers is the height of the handlebar. Would be better if one installs it from aftermarket particularly from art of motorcycles.
Perfect review

I’m an ex Benelli 600gt owner and I’m looking for an exchange. Tilting towards the bmw but no doubt the wonderful rc is really good. IMHO ktm is better for my riding style. But the bmw 310 was no underdog Edit: Confused. Hope I hadn’t seen this video
You should compare with KTM adventure 250
I loved ktm adv, but that 855mm seat height!! Uffff!!!! I need minimum 55mm extra height for that 😐😐
I would prefer comfort over features. KTM suspension is horrible. Unless you wanna stand all the time. Would rather buy a himalayan than a KTM for suspension. G 310 S is no brainer for comfort and demanding long distance off-roading
come to NH12 someday
Nice one
Can you compare the himalayan to the Gs on off-road ing

I think these bikes are more focused towards touring and not adventure.

I don't know if I am right about this, so correct me if I am wrong, here goes: 5:23, 5:34 look at only the bikes. KTM appears to be a bit more jittery than the BMW due to firmer suspension. Since off-roading is focused on traction and control rather than speed, softer suspension which will move easily over uneven surfaces is better. 12:25 Again, look at only the bikes. KTM appears to be planted while the BMW is bobbing up and down due to the softer suspension. Since highway touring involves speeds, firmer suspension which can even out the tiny undulations of the asphalt will be better for a planted traveling experience.

Stock bike is meant for 20% off road and 80% on road and suspension is great at lower speeds on bad roads. But with little modification and with the addition of rally raid kits it can do serious offloading.
Owner of ktm adv 390, tue biggest disappointment is the seat hardness.Otherwise great bike bt if u can't ride comfortably whats the point
I feel sorry for the people who own old gs310..how costly it was...
Bmw the name itself is enough ❤️
X pulse 200 and Ktm adventure 250
For off riding Himalayan is the best !
BMW for me all day, any day. KTM stands no chance in front of the preimmunises of the BMW
I would go with bmw Because better looks
Waiting for BMW G310R REVIEW
How tall are you man?
KTM anyday🔥. Talking about 20k margin. BMW's service will cost you 8.5K , whereas KTM's will cost you around 3-3.5K
This two bike are good But, Himalayan is ❤️
