Except its not a TVS bike, its a BMW. Just like the RC/Duke is a KTM bike not a Bajaj

Also TNT 300 is 2.91 Ex-SR Mumbai and Z250 is 3.08 Ex-SR Mumbai

310 can be priced at about 3 or more but I dont think it will be less than that. Just because it's being manufactured in Bangalore, in TVS's plant does not mean its price will automatically drop to Indian standards...

Are you new into biking? Both TNT and Z250 are twin cylinder bikes. A single cylinder, 33bhp bike coming out of TVS factory, costing above 1.5-1.65 lacs (Ex-SRP) is a waste of time, both for consumer and company. Doesn't matter if it is originally designed in Germany or Mars.

Re: BMW's 313cc G310 R

BMW bike is sold as BMW bike in India, while a similar bike from TVS also will be unveiled with cheaper option.

AM THE ONLY ONE who excited about not this launch but upcoming Adventure based on this Engine ???? the Weird Headlight on Mini-Adventrue

Re: BMW's 313cc G310 R

I think this will be having TVS badge instead of BMW here in India. And the bike looks freaking good. Also, it doesn't matter if it's single or twin, the power delivery (usable) for your riding preference is what matters.

People don't simple buy a twin Super Duke instead of a I4 Z1000, S1000R, etc.

Wouldn't mind either if there's no choice for both.

Re: BMW's 313cc G310 R

People calling this bike a clone of Duke 390 or TNT, remind me of the 200 NS launch, when the 200 NS was called a clone of Honda CB1000R.

Guys, let's accept it:- We have a popular design for naked bikes, which roughly encompasses a large/ tall fuel tank, an inverted triangular headlight, a low seat, some sort of tank flaps/extensions near the engine, etc..

That means, these bikes will resemble each other. FZ, Duke, TNT, G310R, etc... they all look a bit too similar now.

Let's just accept it. Personally, I like this bike's looks.

Regarding price, its as per the market, and not as per company's wish. My vote is that it won't be above 2 Lacs.
We have to count the BMW brand value too, its premium can't be evaded no matter which category you're into, but relying too much on it will not earn money for the company.

NOTE: Just personal expectations mentioned here, no info of any kind.

Re: BMW's 313cc G310 R

Regarding badging, people are comparing the case study of KTM-Bajaj relationship but please remember that Bajaj owns 47% stake in KTM. So selling KTM branded bikes does no harm to Bajaj, directly or indirectly. TVS on the other hand, is the Indian 'partnered' manufacturer for BMW's first small bike.

A completely new bike, derived from BMW's 300cc platform (just like NS200 was conceptualized from Duke200) would what will make it TVS's true domestic product.

Well, the 1290's power delivery can hardly be called useful. Its a mad hooligan bike, which wants to go with one whee always pointing heavenward.

Too much low down grunt.

For people who would do a lot of stunts , they can easily take and Mod it.

Seriously? Are you suggesting that a BMW would make a better stunt bike than the KTMs?

**xplod566** · 11-12-2015, 02:13 AM

Re: BMW's 313cc G310 R

I am definately sure people are gonna compare it with KTM Duke,but considering the Quality of BMW (And TVS)i can anyday say its gonna be better than Duke and people be ready for its price to be a tad higher than duke,and i am sure it will justify it.The engine may be more refined,Quality parts,Beautiful High Quality LCD Console.....Afterall Quality comes with a price right.

Now Bajaj/KTM (Specially Bajaj) is in Deep trouple.Will be fun to watch now

So, by showing a totally tricked out factory spec stunt bike, you want to prove that the Beemer is a better stunt machine? That bike has about as much in common with this bike as the Skoda Fabia has with S2000.

With enough money, you can stunt on anything.

Stunters tend to use a lot of consumables, which are likely to be expensive on this.
Stunters need
a) light weight (the duke is lighter)
b) crazy accelaration (the stock duke is already good enough, now imagine it with a sprocket change)

And not to add KTM's reputation of building crazy bikes. Shit build quality? yes. Unreliable? Yes. But Crazy? Oh! Yes!

Yes it will be "Unveiled" for the Indian Market in 2016

So is the Duke 125, the Duke 250 and RC125 and 250. Just because a thing is built here doesnt mean it automatically comes here.

Yes thats true but the G310 R is being launched for the Indian Market

But it is not an authentic BMW bike, much like the KTMs are not authentic KTMs.

You can keep telling that to yourself, its a subjective opinion

And lastly,
There is *NO WAY* this bike is going to cost more than 2 lakh ex-showroom, when lauched.

We will see

I am "new" to biking because I missed out on the fact that the TNT 300 is an Inline twin? Great logic
We'll see how much the BMW G310R will cost when it does launch

I think it's gonna be costing somewhere around 2.1 lakhs. But that's just my guts feeling. But at even 2 its gonna be a great bike.pity our so called government imposes so much road tax, atleast in Bangalore with horrendous roads
