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 gets stuck

So all right, Markus, would that be a buying candidate after the inspection? Here yes, if you get to grips with the misfires, the Honda NTV Revere would be a very good purchase. However, this is due to the condition of the machine. This does not mean scratches or optical things, but the condition of the wear parts. If the brakes are gone, all liquids are changeable, tyres are old and cracked, a handsome soup would come up at the cost price of 1,700 euros.

Markus drew a very similar conclusion during the test of the Suzuki GS 500 E, and it has lost nothing of its topicality.

The test bike was provided to us by Heller & Soltau in St. Michaelisdonn.
