With a family resemblance to BMW’S sporty big-capacity S1000R, the G310R is a lightweight, easy-to-ride street bike ideal for new riders. It has all the quality you’d expect from a BMW and is easy to handle at low speed round city streets (thanks to it weighing just 158kg) but also packs a sporty punch when out of town on country roads. It’s packed with technology too, boasting features like upside-down forks, ABS, and radial-mounted brakes. The low 758mm seat height makes it ideal for shorter riders.

FINANCE

BMW offers personal contract purchase (PCP) and hire-purchase packages so you can choose which method suits you best. With PCP, you can either pay a final payment and keep the bike, hand it back to the dealer and walk away with nothing to pay, or trade in against another new BMW. The G310R is also available on BMW’S subsidised “Rookie to Rider” scheme (see box).
