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?

First class means that the British primarily mean high driving comfort. And first-class attachments such as the sensible extras or very powerful brakes. If you understand that, the tigers open up all the better. It's not suitable for best times, but who is?
Travel instead of racing. This is not even written down, but a clear recommendation. Whose riding style tends more in the direction of calm and fluid, can buy a bike tailored to him or her. By the way: The tigers are also suitable for short-legged ones thanks to the adjustable seat height, only weak-breasted the interested parties may not be – 271 kilos is not subject to entertainment tax as I said.
However, a test drive is still necessary, because there is something that Dietmar and I could not agree on: He – rather short upper body - found the windshield to be great, I – rather long torso – as not working. Once again it turns out that there is no one, the good wind protection for all despite electrically adjustable disc.
