The BMW G310 R takes design cues from the bigger S1000 R. It has been designed by ex-Bajaj Design Chief Edgar Heinrich who also designed the Pulsar 200NSThe intent of the BMW G310 R is to build an easy access point to the Motorrad family and thereon help retain the customer within the BMW fold by offering him upgradesThe rear end looks quite stubby, typical of naked street motorcycles. The end can is shared with the Apache RR310. Both the motorcycles are based on the same platform and you will see a bit of common parts tooThe BMW G310 R has a relatively easily accessible rider’s seat as opposed to the pillion which is a stepped up unit. That white rear monoshock suspension will definitely be a pain to keep clean in the rainThe switch gear is shared with the TVS Apache RR 310 and seems high quality too
