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?

You have to be able to afford it, the Yamaha, which costs around 20,000 euros in better equipment. For this you get a luxurious and mature looking companion for the good and bad days in the life of a motorcyclist. Compared to the adventure bikes, you have to do without the indicated off-road suitability – but probably no one has complained about it yet. That's right.
Choose the destination and have confidence: if it doesn't happen with the circumnavigation of the world, it's not up to Yamaha.
