I was out on a very wet muddy green lane today on my baby GS. well out of my depth deep in the Hampshire countryside and to be fair probably being a bit of a plonker, dropped it once and got passed by about 20 huskies and KTms on an organised ride. Had a few comments like "you're brave!" Etc, but also had a few admiring, impressed glances. Not saying I'd do it again, but gotta admire the spirit of the bike and its ability to go where perhaps it shouldnt go in stock form. But survived and enjoyed a true adventure on a bike that was very plucky and easy to pick up. I'd never have gone down the same lane on my Africa Twin and I'd have probably not been able to pick it up when it went down, small is confidence inspiring and it allows you to take a few chances. That's what an adventure bike should do right? Cos now I'm lying in my bed with a smile on my face and a brilliant memory in my head!!

Ran the local dealer demo for a few weeks and liked it so much I bought a new one two weeks ago. Your summary of your experiences is to me spot on! I have had many bikes over the years and for sure this has a fun factor and engaging riding experience many others do not. As always, in my opinion it's down to your personal expectations of what you are looking for from a bike. Comparisons with other bikes are only valid when you have actually ridden them and can then determine personally what works for you. Great video, look forward to hearing more in due course.

I've come down from a Tiger to the 310. loving it! Making use of all my local green lanes in snowdonia and having some of the most enjoyable rides of my life. I've lifted the bars 25mm, engineguard/skid, lifted the rear break, bark busters and just changed the tyres for tkc80s. great review

Very apt review. You mentioned everything exactly for what it was. Nice to see such honest reviews.

This definitely has to be one of the best reviews I have seen.

Last week I got 40 Years edition and loving it. It is my 1st bike and trying to learn how to ride on it.

I recently bought one. I love it. Gets me around town. For me it’s more of a commuter bike. Definitely a head turner. And looks much bigger than it actually is. For the badge, the quality and price and fun factor you get a pretty good sweet deal

Gone the smaller capacity route. Once you get the right mindset they're brilliant.

I think it looks 👍 I have a new gsx s750 which is mega but this would be a perfect second bike, sometimes it’s just more fun with less cc. Scooters are the same way, ring the power out at ever stop light and you aren’t at risk of breaking risky speeds.

Love my baby GS. I've always ridden smaller single cylinder dual sport bikes sinve 1975 and always wanted a 300-400cc ADV bike and now we finally have a few. I ride back roads and dirt roads instead of highways so the G310GS is nearly ideal for me. I can carry 35 pounds in a waterproof roll top backpack strapped to the rear rack and pillion - camping equipment a generous tool roll, and hardly know it's back there. My only complaint is the 11 litre fuel tank. It should be twice that capacity.

Would be good to see side by side comparison with new Honda cb300r,excellent review thanks

Dream bike🚲

Very useful review, I'm definitely thinking of smaller capacity machines. How is the build quality? Did it feel underpowered? Thanks!

Gone is the S1000R in is the G310GS (not saying I wont ever get a big bike, but you really have to ask yourself, Why!!!) I will invest in the bobbin axle thing, surprised that no threaded hole available, and no access the swinging arm centre either, would have liked hazard lights too, they are used such a lot in my location.

How about riding with a passenger?

Does the G310GS come with a phone charging point?

How u go down

Why small boys are no good for long journey what is the reason ?

Do you have any issues on yours with handle bar wobble at 50-60mph? I have seen some comments from those that do but not sure if this is a tyre issue?

Thanks for the video. I am planing to buy the same bike and I am only concern about the size, because I am 186 cm tall. Can you tell me how tall are you? Regards,

Have you had any problems with it? Where you had to take to the dealership? I am considering to buy one, but have heard lots about BMWs bad reputation. This is made in India, so maybe its better😁

I'll never understand the "gotta have a big bike to tour or Adventure Riding" crowd. Makes NO SENSE unless you have a heavy passenger maybe?

80/85mph cruise speed, with 90 flat out? That not its cruise speed, maybe 70/75mph.

It's a good bike but you can get a Honda CB500X which is superior in every way. Also that windscreen is a joke, typical bmw.

.......FYI: YOU REALLY NEED TO PRACTICE SPEAKING LOUDER, and MORE CLEARLY, [STOP MUMBLING ABOUT!]... MORE SLOWLY, AND PROPERLY ENUNCIATE YOUR WORDS, (and avoid using "nobbly" slang!!!)SO THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND YOU!!!..... THERE ARE MANY TIME WHEN IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE OUT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING,..... kind of like listening to "the "chipmunks"!!!.....

How about riding with a passenger?
