Top officials at BMW Motorrad have revealed that a mini-GS styled adventure motorcycle is on the cards.
This smaller GS will be based on the upcoming G 310 R roadster motorcycle which has been jointly developed with TVS Motors. This model is likely to be introduced in 2017 and will be very competitively priced. As is the case with the G 310 R, the GS version will also be developed by BMW but manufactured by TVS.
Powering the bike will be a 313cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke petrol motor producing 34 BHP of power and 28 Nm of torque matched to a 6-speed gearbox. Expect the engine to be retuned to meet the adventurous requirements of this version. ABS will be offered as standard.
The G 310 R will be priced aggressively and we can expect tit o retail for around Rs 2.2 and 2.5 lakh.
The G 310 R roadster is a bike developed jointly by TVS and BMW and the mini-GS adventure, when launched, will give the Royal Enfield Himalayan and the soon to be launched KTM 390 Adventure, some competition.
If you were planning to buy a performance motorcycle this year, it’ll be a good decision to wait a little longer.
