Came back home after visiting SBM Motors. Good amount of crowd too.
TVS really wanted to show what they're capable of, is what I felt seeing 310RR up close.
The fit and finish along with strong attention to detail can only be seen in expensive Triumph and Kawasaki motorcycles. Kudos to BMW-TVS relationship. Paint quality is top notch. It certainly feels well put together than the KTMs!
Me being exactly 6ft was easily able to flat foot. The seat is wide but could've been more longer is what I felt. The clip-on handlebars had almost negligible levels of pressure on the wrists, way less committed than the R15 and RC390. Really felt almost the same as the new Ninja 650.

It's a looker and has great presence. When viewed directly head-on, the front fascia(headlights/windscreen) slightly giveaway it's a 300cc bike due to a narrower design, but from the sides and at other angles, every other layman will mistake to be a every costly dhoom type machine lol, because the full fairing on the side panels are wide like a supersport. The Red color definitely gives away a mini Panigale vibe.
Get ready to be stopped by cops just for this design alone. Adding further to the presence department are the LED headlights where the low beams are always ON, they give the Akula a subtly aggressive look with those bright projectors!
The staff were all very excited and felt they had a superbike in their showroom.
They were confident and assured that test rides will happen from coming Friday or from next Monday.

Cheers!
