BMW G310R price revealed

THE price of BMW’s G310R has been unexpectedly revealed on a dealer website months ahead of the bike’s launch.

BMW’s 313cc single will cost £4,290 when it goes on sale on October 1.

That makes it £210 less than Yamaha’s MT-03, £60 less than Kawasaki's Z300 and £260 less than KTM’s 390 Duke.

The 34hp BMW is also down on power compared to its rivals, with the twin-cylinder MT-03 and Z300 producing 42hp and 39hp respectively and the single-cylinder 390 Duke making 43.5hp.

The price was published on the website of West Midlands dealership Blade BMW Motorrad, which is also taking orders for the model subject to a £100 deposit.
