The first ever spy-video of the highly anticipated TVS-BMW G 310 R doing rounds on Indian soil has surfaced suggesting that the Indo-German roadster motorcycle will be rolled out of the factories soon. The video has been shared with us by our reader, Chris Calvin who spotted the G 310 R on Krishnagiri – Bangalore Highway. The bike did not carry any camouflage on itself and didn’t need to, since the bike had its global reveal last year and later showcased in India at the 2016 Auto Expo that took place earlier this year.

BMW brought the bike to India for the mega automotive event in Greater Noida for display purpose only and no launch details were released or discussed. Developed by the two-wheeler division of the Bavarian manufacturer, the bike will be manufactured by the BMW Motorrad’s new partner, TVS. Previously codenamed as K03, the roadster will be an entry-level bike as well as the first sub-500cc roadster from BMW Motorrad. With the small and smart headlamp unit, muscular fuel tank, radiator shrouds and upside down gold-coloured forks at the front one can easily identify the G 310 R as a member of the BMW Motorrad family.
The TVS-BMW G 310 R is built around a rigid tubular steel frame with the new upside-down fork suspension kit in the front and long swing arm that is claimed to provide high degree of ride stability, precise steering response, and sound handling. The bike will get a multifunctional instrument cluster. ABS will come as standard on the G 310 R and will get a 110/70 R 17 tyre-wheel configuration at the front and 150/60 R 17 at the rear.
Powering the TVS-BMW G 310 R will be a newly developed 313cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with four valves and two overhead camshafts together with electronic fuel injection. The roadster will be propelled the engine that can make 34 horse power at 9,500 rpm and a peak torque of 28Nm that comes in at 7,500 rpm.
As we mentioned earlier, we know what the bike is made up of and what it can do, but there are no further details of the same made officially available. We can expect the bike to bear a premium price tag and can cost from INR 2.2 Lakhs upwards. In the Indian market, the G 310 R will go head on with the KTM Duke 390.
