Image gallery: BMW G 310 GS launched in India at Rs 3.49 lakh
BMW Motorrad India announced that the prices - despite earlier rumors and speculation - will be competitive, Rs 2.99 lakh ex-Delhi for the G 310 R and Rs 3.49 lakh ex-Delhi for the G 310 GS. This places the bike close enough to the KTM 390 Duke and forthcoming KTM 390 Adventure for a direct contest in the market. The KTMs are cheaper and more powerful but the quality and premium perception of the BMW brand - from all of our social media interaction - is considerably higher. As part of the purchase, BMW Motorrad is offering three years, unlimited mileage warranty on both motorcycles. It is not surprising with the motorcycles being spotted at different dealerships in recent days that deliveries have begun today as well. Most dealers have ready stock, with more bikes expected to make their way here from the factory. You can expect the waiting period to dissipate after the first 2-3 months. More details on the launch of the BMW G 310 R and the the G 310 S in our launch story. Scroll down to see images from the India launch event.
