A Facebook teaser for the 2016 BMW Motorrad G310R has popped up, posted by BMW Motorrad Malaysia. Anticipation for this first BMW Motorrad small-capacity motorcycle has been high, especially in South-East Asia, where the bike is due to be marketed first.
Details on the launch of the 2016 G310R are sketchy, with no one in BMW Motorrad Malaysia saying anything, save that it will be “sometime this year.” The G310R is a collaboration between BMW Motorrad and TVS of India, with the bike being manufactured and assembled in one of TVS’ four plants.
The G310R is equipped with a 313 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder mill that pumps out 34 hp and 28 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. The cylinder orientation is reversed, putting the intake facing forward. This lets the engine be tilted a little further forward to place weight over the front wheel, while giving the exhaust a straight path to the rear.
Weighing in at 158 kg, and with ABS as standard, the G310R is designed by BMW to be marketed worldwide, meaning that there may not be market-specific variants in terms of 250 cc engines to meet local licensing requirements.
BMW Motorrad has also been silent on possible pricing, but with the majority of 250 cc motorcycles in Malaysia coming in at just about RM21,000, we assume the price for the 2016 G310R can’t be far off.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The G310R starts at USD5k so after conversion and some pocket money to the government u would arrive at around 40-50k for the bike unless BMW has applied for EEV haha.
Multiply by 10?? Wow. Bye.
For this price I can get Kawasaki Z300 with V engine and more HP :)
Z300 is inline 2 not V fyi
heard rumors price RM25000
but with high maintenance, well..I choose another bike
Moga impian saya memiliki BMW G310R tercapai. Terfikir untuk menaik taraf tunggangan saya selama ini bersama kapcai 100cc. Suatu hari nanti. Harap ia jadi kenyataan.
