Conclusion - for whom is it suitable?
So: Who is the small BMW G 310 R suitable for? For small and light people, of course. Those who simply want to ride a motorcycle and place little value on riding performance.
It is ideal for people who answer the question asked at the beginning whether a scooter would not be the better choice, with the handiness and driving pleasure of the BMW G 310 R. If the concept motorcycle is superior to that of the scooter, then here.
The Japanese competition is usually a bit more expensive than the BMW (wouldn't have thought I'd ever write this sentence). However, it usually exhausts the 48 hp limit of the driving licence class A2 and brings a little more peace than the BMW, which some consider to be hilarious.
But: After initial scepticism, one thing is clear: make sure the G 310 R is really fun. Who would have thought that?

Conclusion - a bike without major weaknesses
And now, is the BMW a purchase recommendation? Yes, it is. It is not suitable for beginners, smaller people and experienced pilots. Its long-distance comfort (with a larger windshield) is excellent, it is also sufficiently bubbly.
The 2,500 Euro price difference to the BMW F 850 GS should actually strengthen any purchase recommendation. Here, however, they are precisely enough not to condemn price policy completely. If you can and want to afford it, you get an almost universally applicable bike with very good workmanship.
