Is TVS about to unveil a fully-faired version of the BMW G310R?

BMW and TVS are set to unveil a fully-faired version of the new G310R, according to reports from India. 

Code-named U69, the new model is said to have slightly different ergonomics and gear ratios to its naked sibling, while the engine is in a different state of tune.

It's set to be unveiled at the start of February at the Auto Expo in Delhi, according to Indian motoring website Rushlane.com. 

BMW and TVS already have a manufacturing and technology sharing partnership that will see the 313cc single-cylinder G310R built in India. 

The faired model will be in direct competition with Yamaha's R3, KTM's RC390 and Kawasaki's Ninja 300.
