Good, but not cheap
So you can imagine enjoying day trips or the ferries of everyday life on normal routes with the BMW G 310 GS. For the big tour she is rather too unrelaxed. BMW is calling for around 6,050 euros for this model. The question then arises as to who should buy this. Sure, it is suitable for beginners qua law. But as a pure beginner bike a bit expensive.
BMW's 310 series has clear qualities. If you can do without the rather limited touring ability anyway, you should take a look at the already mentioned G 310: Here you can save another 700 Euros.

Conclusion - what gets stuck
All in all, the same-parts adventure was all about. She comes around the corner with this trusting attitude, which does not substride even when they get closer. You just have to want to afford it and, above all, you have to be able to do it. If that is the case, it will lead the way in the middle class.
