Good, but not cheap
So you can imagine enjoying day trips or the ferries of everyday life on normal routes with the BMW G 310 GS. For the big tour she is rather too unrelaxed. BMW is calling for around 6,050 euros for this model. The question then arises as to who should buy this. Sure, it is suitable for beginners qua law. But as a pure beginner bike a bit expensive.
BMW's 310 series has clear qualities. If you can do without the rather limited touring ability anyway, you should take a look at the already mentioned G 310: Here you can save another 700 Euros.
The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann and Söhne in Pinneberg near Hamburg.
Conclusion - what sticks
The Streety 765 RS is an insanely good bike with many strengths and few weaknesses. It delivers tons of driving pleasure and impresses with a handling that even a Speed Triple 1200 RS has to fit into. Whether it has to be the RS or whether the R is enough, you can't say objectively. If you have to pay attention to your wallet, you will certainly be happy with the R. However, if you can afford the RS, you should help yourself there. The RS is actually a little better in some things and, above all, more noble in appearance. An absolute dream motorcycle!Once again, we received the test machine from Q-Bike, the Triumph flagship store in Hamburg, for this test. At Q-Bike, both the RS and the R are ready for a hearty ride. So if you are still undecided which one it should be - just go to Q-Bike and at least look at or ride both machines. But beware: If you test drive the RS, you are acutely endangered...
