It has only one single cylinder, and it’s probably one of the smallest bikes that BMW ever produced, but still – it’s the German giant’s most important bike in years. Meet the BMW G310R.

This bike is BMW’s first venture into the sub-500cc streetbike production, and more than that – it is the first BMW model to ever be manufactured outside of Germany!

Where was it made then? In India! Yes guys, a BMW is being now produced in a country that sells 24 millions new bikes each and every year! BMW only sells around 160,000 bikes a year, and hardly any bike ever makes it to India. BMW also hardly sells in China, Thailand or other emerging markets. That’s a huge market made up of billions of customers that could start enjoying a cool beemer.

So what is this new BMW G310R all about?

Well, it’s an affordable entry-level platform that might fuel the aspirations of a broad worldwide audience. It’s lightweight, nicely styled and will definitely appeal to novice riders.

How much will it cost?

According to BMW, the price tag of the BMW G310R will be $4750. For more details go to BMW.

After this first manufacturing experience in India, BMW plans to open a plant also in Brasil. And it’s already clear now, that the BMW G310R will become a substantial basis for new future bikes, all made far away from Germany?
