In addition to that, the cylinder head is rotated by 180 degrees, this allows for the intake tract to be positioned in front. As a whole, the engine produces 34 hp at 9,500 rpm and 28 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. According to BMW, the new engine is designed for the global market – this means that it can run on all grades of petrol and still meet emission standards.

Design of the G310R follows the S1000R closely, according to BMW. It’s much more compact with a short wheelbase and a low seat height measuring at 785 mm from the ground. It features a single headlamp, modelled fuel tank trim elements, while dynamic surfaces showcases its agile side profile. On top of that, it comes standard with a multifunction instrument cluster as well.
