Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Confused between G 310 R or Street 750?
  • It would be unfair to give a verdict as Harley Davidson Street 750 has been discontinued and is not available for sale now. On the other hand, BMW G 310 R is a great pick. BMW G 310 R is a sportbike with a 313cc motor, it has got excellent brakes, offers good bite, feedback and progression. Features packed bikes are pretty much the norm these days. In BMW G 310 R, you have LED lights all around, Additional comforts include an adjustable clutch and brake levers which will help you fine-tune the lever reach as per your hand size. The handling capabilities of the BMW G 310 R far outweigh the grip of its Michelin Pilot Street tyres. As far as touring is concerned, this bike can sit comfortably at highway speeds of around 100kmph, but anything beyond that begins to feel harsh. So yes, you can use it for long-distance touring. And if you happen to find some poor or broken roads on this tour, the BMW’s excellent ride quality will do a fine job of soaking most of it up. But if pukka off-roading is what you have in mind, considering this bike could be among not so good decisions. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which one is better G310 R or royal enfield metor?
  • BMW 310R is way more punchy as I experienced during the test ride when compared to the Meteor. Also the ride and handling of the 310R was superior as compared to the Meteor. That being said, I finally settled for the Honda CB 350RS which was smoother than the Meteor, but not punchy like the 310R, plus it was about 70,000 cheaper. Also the quality and reliability of the Honda sealed the deal for me in addition to its fantastic looks and sleek silhouettte.
  • Selecting the right bike would depend on several factors such as your budget preference, features required, engine options, brand preference, etc. BMW has managed to iron out the majority of the issues that stopped us from wholeheartedly recommending the Bavarian naked. It is a delight to ride in the twisties with enough power on tap to thrill you. It is also more affordable now, which bodes well for its positioning in the market. Wish it came with better tyres, though. BMW G 310 R is powered by a 313 cc engine. This G 310 R engine generates a power of 34 PS @ 9250 rpm and a torque of 28 Nm @ 7500 rpm. On the other hand, if we talk about THE thump, which seemed to have been muffled by BS6, is back with RE’s brand spanking new Meteor 350, the successor to the Thunderbird 350. Royal Enfield Meteor 350 is powered by a 349 cc engine. This Meteor 350 engine generates a power of 20.4 PS @ 6100 rpm and a torque of 27 Nm @ 4000 rpm. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
Q. BMW G310R BS6 or KTM DUKE 390 BS6, which is the best option as I am looking to buy?
  • Selecting between KTM 390 Duke and BMW G 310 R would depend on certain factors such as Budget, Brand preference, features required etc. BMW is a delight to ride in the twisties with enough power on tap to thrill you. It is also more affordable now, which bodes well for its positioning in the market. Wish it came with better tyres, though. Whereas, if everyday performance is your top priority, nothing offers the same sort of explosive acceleration and razor sharp handling as the 390 Duke -- in this price range or in a segment above. Now more mature and refined in its latest form, the 2020 KTM 390 Duke still remains a well-rounded package tailor-made for thrill-seekers. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
