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.
The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann and Söhne in Pinneberg near Hamburg.
Conclusion - what sticks
Class, the Urban Motard carries the name suffix "City Rebel" right. She's a little evil, but not pretentious. By its very nature, this is a real FunBike. You just can't not have fun with the box. More than 12,000 euros are an announcement for an 800cc machine with this rather spartan equipment, but the driving pleasure, the appearance and the value of the Urban Motard justify this price.The test machine was kindly provided by Bergmann & Söhne in Bremervörde for this test. There is a demonstrator who is already looking forward to many more test rides - of course next to many other Ducati bikes and machines from Suzuki. So - next trip to Bremervörde, ask for Holger, take coffee and at least boot around the Urban Motard. Have fun!
