2023 BMW G 310 GS – DM Review | Test Ride

Well I'll be, I guess the BMW G310 GS is a pretty good beginner bike after all. But you'll be done with it after a few years.

I have been riding motorcycles since the late 80's. I have had varied motorcycles and when I rode this bike I found it to be really nice. I did not have the stalling issues you reported. I only rode for about 20 miles, and I was with a group ride with guys with bigger bikes, I had to ride agressively to keep up but didn't experience the problems that you described. I currently have a BMW F650CS, planning to replace it with the G310GS.

Glad I'm not the only one. I rode this bike for a training class and I was the only one stalling out multiple times. Everyone else had different bikes. Thought it
was just me being a beginner. Throttle felt jerky too.

I'm a new rider who picked one up for my first motorcycle in late June. For a new rider like me, it's perfect.

I’ve had mine for about 4 months and 1400 miles. Mine doesn’t have the throttle delay or stalling issues either. It’s not super powerful but But I can commute on the back roads and if I decide jump on the highway for a jaunt or take dirt roads. Nice all arounder for that purpose. With better tires It could be quite fun for mild off-roading. Ymmv

Great review. I appreciate your thoughts on this bike. I like the styling and comfort of it. It's one of 3 bikes I'm trying to decide on. Best wishes and happy New Year to you and yours. Stay safe.

Picking this up this weekend. Couldn’t pass up new for $5500 out the door. Not thrilled about the 313cc but I’m using as a 8 mile commuter bike for back and forth to work

I picked up a 2019 for right on 5k and I've been totally happy with it. It has switchable rear abs and a standard cable throttle, which seems a bit more responsive than the one you were riding. You were spot on with how much of motorcycling you get to try with these bikes. I've used it for commuting, touring, hitting some great pacific highway twisties, and riding trails, and it's been totally competent and dependable. It's been a few years now and I just can't wait any more to move up to something bigger, but I'll always have a soft spot for this little GS

It's truly goddawful on the highway. Just bought one and struggled to hold 110 km into a headwind on the highway. Had to keep adjusting my grip on the throttle to try and crack it open wide enough to sustain speed which gave me arm pump. It's not in its design brief so that's fine but IMO it's NOT a touring bike at least not in a country like Australia. It's performed just fine on the dirt but like many before me I'm probably gonna fit bar risers.

Charlie, To stay closer to BMW traditions, could they have equipped this motorcycle with a single cylinder, horizontally unopposed boxer engine?🤔 😉

[travelpyworld]

Thanks for the video. It helps for beginners 😊

To find neutral apply half pressure you normally would going from first to second.

[antonjoubert]

For absolute beginers only, rather get a low milage second hand 650 (klr, dr etc.) almost double the power and will keep you entertained longer

HOW MANY MILES CAN YOU GO WITH A FULL TANK? Im a beginner and lately is been in my mind to ride a bike from cali all the way to Cabo san lucas and back, will this bike be sufficient?

[MaximilianYpplm]

Another YouTuber experienced the stalling issue too

[cerebrix]

I hope this was a press bike. Manual says not to rev the engine above 6k during the 600 mile break in period. ECU logs over revs so hopefully an issue never comes up with that bikes motor. First thing BMW does on an warranty claim is copy the ECU logs and review them for stuff like that.

[phelelanizulu]

Anyone know how it compares to the F650gs dakar?

[BigSkyGuy]

Just took a test ride, throttle response way to "twitchy"

[bfarm]

A Bajaj built BMW 310 is not worth a nickle over 5k and that’s pushing it

[HistoryofLies-dv]

Always wise to belittle the cycle before riding the G310 Gs, the arrogance of you youtubers is insane. The bike can go seriously offroading you have to have talent and skill, you must lack those things.

India build quality on bikes is better than USA build quality these days. I know if a bike can survive on India roads it can survive anywhere. You take a Harley on the roads the G310GS was built for, and the Harley will lose all it's nuts and bolts.
