I dreamed of buying a BMW car when I was in school. Then I lost interest in cars. so I am getting this....
not a big fan of Naked bikes... but its a BMW
ok, let the comparisons with KTM and discussions proceed...Originally posted by RoyalIndian View Posthaha
well one for thing, its a BMW! Its better than the KTM muhahaha!
Yeah. Right.

Lol. The Apache 200 did a very fine job of taking on the Duke, didnt it?Originally posted by RTR_Naman View PostTVS gets an insight into how to develop top-notch vehicles, and it is going apply some learning to use in upcoming Apache 200. Not only that, a nexus with BMW would increase its credibility multi-folds.
You can take it as gospel that BMW would never compromise on quality, it'll only be using TVS manufacturing facilities. And since it is a tech sharing agreement with no stakes involved, there is all the more reason to believe that G310 would be an exemplary product just like other BMWs.
Apache 200 would compete against Duke 200 and G310 would compete against Duke 390 and would definitely be priced higher than 390. Although, considerably less than TNT 300/Z250. From mechanicals to cosmetics, you can expect everything to be better than KTM.
And if gets launched at under 2 lacs ex-showroom as you said, let me know whenever you're in Bangalore, beer's on me
All in all, production of the new BMW G 310 R is subject to the same quality criteria that apply to production at the BMW Motorrad plant in Berlin-Spandau.
Also, you can try to be a bit polite while replying to other fellow-xbhp family members even when they're wrong. It's a forum to enhance each other's knowledge and not a competition to declare your superiority. Not that you care, but please don't spoil the discussion with contempt or derision. I have seen it earlier as well. We all are bikers, bikers are brothers. Let the brotherhood prevail. Cheers

Re: BMW's 313cc G310 R
No don't think so, at least from the video it looks like it's not much different. TVS would have to supply it with a special exhaust to make it sound different.Originally posted by TVSian View PostI am sure the G310R will sound much better than the Dukes which sound like Fartcannons.

Re: BMW's 313cc G310 R
I guess there's a bit of dearth of bike designing going on right now. So many bikes looks so much alike with similar design concept. Tank cowls/ extension (never understood what it's for??), Optimus Prime face type headlight and a small pillion seat & a exposed contrasting frame. Most bikes today look so generic that if you strip off the paint & logos there's hardly any uniqueness left to differentiate. I know street-fighter types has to look like street fighter but I see just no variation.
Also not sure why bikes sounding hideous!!! KTM survived with not so soothing sound but I see that more and more bikes now pay less attention to stock sound. While performance etc is important but on a bike so is sound, it should be pleasing, rythmic and sweet. Benelli offcourse ditched that trend & I'm sure so many sales were driven by that aspect as an added edge

Re: BMW's 313cc G310 R
Why should one remove the exhaust barrel from a perfectly sounding bike to make it sound like a fartcannon/Duke ?Originally posted by RoyalIndian View PostIf you remove the exhaust barrel from the G310R, it too will sound like a "Fartcannon"[My Motorcycle]

Re: BMW's 313cc G310 R
Try to read your own comment. Any bike without an exhaust barrel will sound like a fartcannon hence dont compare the exhaust notes of the 2 bikes.

The Duke twins (and RC twins) have an underbelly exhaust for a reason, if it hasnt become apparent to you, maybe you should educate yourself on it.

The 200 NS lso has an underbelly exhaust. What has that got to do with anything?

Re: BMW's 313cc G310 R
The underbelly exhaust is for mass centralization ... got nothing to do with how they sound. How the gases choke, how they expand, how they flow and the resonance is what determines the exhaust note.Originally posted by RoyalIndian View PostTry to read your own comment.

Re: BMW's 313cc G310 R
I think the exhaust note is mainly dependent on the engine design and being a single with short stroke, it can't sound much different even with an after market pipe.Originally posted by Naveen Vajja View PostThe underbelly exhaust is for mass centralization ... got nothing to do with how they sound.
