BMW G 310 R And BMW 310 GS Launched In India; Prices Start At Rs. 2.99 lakh

BMW Motorrad India took its own sweet time but has finally launched the BMW G 310R and the BMW G 310GS with prices starting at Rs. 2.99 lakh. The G 310 R and the G 310 GS are the smallest bikes, in terms of size and displacement to have come out of BMW's stables. The BMW G 310 R is naked streetfighter while the BMW G 310 GS is an entry-level adventure bike. Both motorcycles are manufactured at TVS' plant in Hosur, near Bengaluru and are already exported to markets worldwide. The BMW G 310R was first showcased in India at the 2016 Auto Expo and again at the 2018 Auto Expo along-side the BMW G 310GS with the promise that these bikes will be launched in India this year.

The 6-speed gearbox is shared between the two bikes as well along with the cycle parts and the chassis as well.

The BMW G 310 R gets a cool, naked design which has been inspired from the bigger roadsters in the BMW Motorrad range such as the S 1000 R. On the other hand, the BMW G 310 GS is the smallest member of the company's famed GS line-up of adventure bikes and the design of the bike too tells you as such. We believe that the BMW G 310 R price in India is a decent one although the advantage still lies with the KTM 390 Duke which is its biggest rival and costs significantly less too.

The BMW G 310 GS price in India too is affordable if you are looking for a small, entry-level adventure tourer. The biggest advantage it has is the first mover advantage. In all probability, this time next year, the KTM 390 Adventure could possibly be launched in India but then, the BMW G 310 GS would have had a year-long head start and trust BMW Motorrad India to cash in on that.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights.
