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?
The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann & Söhne.
What remains? Without sponsors, this would have been a rather expensive affair, as there are cheaper offers on the net. And yet we are glad to have dared this experiment: the Honda is too good not to try it. Our advice to all those who can make friends with a sports tourer: Definitely shortlist!
This was the emotional section of our brain, but the truth is that these costs cannot be recovered from a sale. But no matter what we do with the VFR, we have not yet decided. We just enjoy :)
That cost the fun, all the numbers in Euros:
Motorcycle: 1,600
TÜV: 80
Battery: 100
Brake pads and air filters: 230
Oil and oil filters: 40
Front blinkers: 62
Spark plugs: 146
Halogen lamp 40
Tank ceilings: 20
In total, that's 2,318 euros. To this end, we have received services from sponsors. For new Michelin tyres, LSL levers and mirrors as well as the paintwork a further 2,377 euros would have been due, so summasumarum 4,695 euros.
