- The BS4 G 310 R retails at Rs 2.99 lakh while the G 310 GS costs Rs 3.49 lakh.
- Both bikes use the same 313cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine.
Our sources suggest that the upcoming BS6 BMW G 310 R and G 310 GS are expected to be launched by August-end or early-September 2020. But that isn’t the highlight of the story. We have just learnt that the Bavarian twins will come with a heavy discount of Rs 75,000 to Rs 85,000. This will effectively bring the price of the G 310 R down to about 2.24 lakh. The GS, on the other hand, will retail at around 2.64 lakh (both ex-showroom prices). For reference, the BS4 G 310 R and G 310 GS are priced at Rs 2.99 lakh and Rs 3.49 lakh respectively.
That’s a fair price to pay for a premium roadster and an adventure tourer. The move would certainly help the German brand to reel in more numbers by targeting enthusiasts on a budget. Heck, the duo will also undercut their arch-rivals, the KTM 390 Duke and 390 Adventure by a fair margin.
Both the BMW G 310 R and G 310 GS will also run cleaner thanks to their updated BS6-compliant engine. While there aren’t any numbers to swear by, we believe the 312cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine will continue to have the same power and torque output as before -- 34PS of power and 28Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed transmission. Both the bikes miss out on a slipper clutch, which would be a welcome addition.
Mechanically, both the bikes will retain the same underpinnings, an upside-down fork, a monoshock, and disc brakes at both ends paired with dual-channel ABS. The setup on the G 310 GS is suited for both road and off-road use.
BMW dealerships had introduced huge discounts on both the bikes to try and get rid of the last remaining BS4 units.
