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.

This fits any

The question remains as to the target group of the bike. Of course, you have to be able to live with the advantages of the agile Naked Bikes, as well as with their disadvantages such as the non-existent windscreen. But apart from that, the Honda, like so many models from this manufacturer, suits virtually anyone – it's never a bad choice.

Only that with passion, the Japanese would have to do even better.

The test bike was provided to us by Motofun in Kaltenkirchen.
