BMW G 310 GS — Overview

The BMW G 310 GS is a discontinued 313cc adventure tourer, last priced at Rs 3,30,000 ex-showroom in India, delivering 34 PS, 30 kmpl ARAI mileage, and 169.5 kg - the lightest ADV in its class.

The BMW G 310 GS carries a GS badge that means something - it is part of the same adventure touring family as the Dakar-proven R 1300 GS, scaled down to a 313cc single-cylinder motor and 169.5 kg of kerb weight. Built alongside TVS Motor Company in Hosur and sold in India at Rs 3,30,000 ex-showroom, it offered the most affordable entry into BMW Motorrad's world before the brand discontinued it in April 2025, choosing not to upgrade the 310 platform to OBD2B emission norms. What it leaves behind is a clear legacy: an adventure tourer that fits Indian riders, survives Indian roads, and goes past 50,000 km without drama if you keep up with services. Remaining dealer stock and used examples are the last direct way to own this particular piece of GS history.

What We Like

  • Ergonomics and touring comfort that punch above the 313cc class - the upright posture, long-travel suspension, and BMW seat geometry mean all-day riding without the lower-back protest that afflicts more aggressively positioned rivals; owners regularly complete Ladakh and Spiti circuits on the stock setup
  • BMW build quality is a genuine differentiator at this price - no rattles, no flex, no shortcuts in fit and finish, and a durability record confirmed by owners crossing 50,000 km without structural issues; the premium feel is tangible every time you sit on the bike
  • Lightweight at 169.5 kg makes it nimble in Mumbai traffic and on tight mountain switchbacks where heavier adventure tourers become a chore; the low kerb weight combined with GS-tuned suspension geometry gives the G 310 GS a confidence-inspiring feel on and off tarmac

What Could Be Better

  • Gearbox quality is the most consistent long-term complaint - downshifts are clunky, neutral is unreliable at traffic stops, and the imprecision never improves with mileage; it is the most un-BMW-like aspect of the bike and is disappointing at Rs 3,30,000
  • 11-litre fuel tank limits touring range to approximately 280-300 km between fills at highway pace - on remote Himalayan stretches where fuel gaps exceed 200 km, riders must carry auxiliary fuel or plan routes carefully, undermining the adventure credibility the badge implies
  • Basic instrument cluster lacks Bluetooth, real-time fuel efficiency display, and the level of information that competing bikes at similar prices now offer as standard; the display looks dated against a Royal Enfield Himalayan 450's TFT screen

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the BMW G 310 GS?

The BMW G 310 GS is the right bike for a rider who values comfort and build quality over features and fuel range - it tours well, handles honestly, and holds its character across high kilometres. The gearbox is genuinely frustrating, the instrument cluster is behind the times, and the 11-litre tank is a real touring constraint. Now discontinued in India, the decision comes down to whether remaining stock or a well-maintained used example is available at a price that reflects its strengths without ignoring its gaps.
