    The Exhaust barrel and the front forks look absolutely beautiful.

    Instead of cost cutting there might be lower end and top end variants which exclusion/inclusion of stuff like ABS and better tyres?
    Yes, optional ABS is possible.

      The bike will have both BMW and TVS logo and the desi variant will have some modifications too (cost cutting probably) *facepalm*
      Hello, If I may kausarayub, where did you get this information from? did you see a TVS logo on the spied version? I am sorry I cannot seem to find the logo.

      IMO, the black and white combination looks mean and classy. Blue looks too discover-ish. From the recent spy-shots that has surfaced recently of the 2017 Duke390, this bike seems to plain. I guess BMW badge will primarily drive the sales.

      I happen to see few Chris Northover's videos which are officially released by BMW yesterday. just to check out the exhaust note. IMO, it had remarkable resemblance to current Duke series exhaust note.

      Peace!

        No, I cannot see the TVS logo, but the person who has taken/uploaded the video claims that. Or maybe that can be only on the test model.

        Can you provide me the URL to the video launched yesterday, I'm unable to find it.

              Yeah, but don't expect them to shock you like Bajaj did with D390. Plan for 3L if not more.

                Buddy, those videos were unveiled a while back, you can search for 'G310R' or 'Chris Northover' on youtube. you can find it easily on them. Let me know if you still need a link.

                Awesome thats a reilef, can you ask them if there will any TVS branding on the bike. Most of us would simply hate that.

                Yes, I agree with you on that Sparky. expect it to be priced about BN302.

                  I don't think it will be priced above 2.5L. I expect it to be less than 2.5L actually. Reasons:
                  Single Cylinder
                  Manufactured in INDIA by TVS
                  Already cheaper than D390 in Europe
                  And if they still price it around 3L, BMW will be counting the units sold per month on their fingers.

                    Well, they may not care much for India numbers since it is primarily meant for asian market and will be exported.

                      You might be right there but like I guess, BMW 'Premium' image would be the primary driver of the sales in India. Folks who cannot afford BMW/luxury cars (or liter bikes) will satisfy their urge by owning this bike.

                      Anyone has confirmation as to how are they are going to sell these bike. I am sure that they are not going to use TVS outlets.

                      Peace!

                            Absolutely man, because not many would buy the G310R if they are getting the Ktm RC 390 for 50k cheaper with all class leading equipment and the fun the KTM provides
                            No replacement for an engine Displacement

                              I really dont get the discussion. Why come and compare this to KTM when its still not launched? Depends upon personal choices. One guy can spend 1.5L and get a Duke 200, other might get a bullet 350 in that price. So does it mean that Duke 200 doesn't do well in the market? Does it mean bullet has less no of takers?

                              And just for sake of 'FUN', I can say my 150cc bike which is priced at 1.3L also provides me 'FUN'.

                              We need to understand one thing, every bike can be different for different people.
