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 - what gets stuck
The author of these lines likes to admit it: he has a penchant for somesloping motorcycles, types and activities. For this reason, the Yamaha is too distant in its unexcitedness, which is a purely personal rating.The Yamaha is very successful in trying to banish everything from slants except slants from their lives. It's a real tip and will certainly hold its own in the market with all its skills - the Yamaha Tracer 900 GT is ideal for people who are reluctant to make mistakes or drive.
Guys like me have to keep searching. You know ...
