BMW G310 RR is coming

BWM will introduce the small sports bike G310 RR on July 15.  For India even the presale was already started and BMW published also the first pictures.  Whether the G310RR is also offered on other markets, is currently still unclear.

 

Pictures hint new model

India is where the single-cylinder G-series engines are made, and TVS produces the G310 R and G310 GS for BMW there.  Now the first pictures of the RR have been released, but they don’t show much of the future model yet.  However, you can clearly see the body plans of the model, which already says quite a bit about the little sports bike.  Basically, the upcoming G310 RR seems to be identical to the TVS Apache RR310, which was already unveiled in 2018.

This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, as back then TVS fitted the BMW G310 R with a sport fairing.  The pegs were moved further back for a sportier riding position and the handlebars were lowered a bit.  In addition, the tank was also adjusted and the seat was placed a little higher.

 

If you brighten up the pictures a bit, even the openings in the fairing seem to be identical and the vertical display of the Apache also seems to be present.  So we can currently assume that they are simply releasing the TVS Apache RR310 under a different branding.

Accordingly, the 312.2cc single-cylinder should produce 34 hp and have four riding modes.  The damping components are likely to come from KYB. 

 

Is the BMW G310 RR also coming to the U.S. or Europe?

Official confirmation has yet to be made, but it is reasonable to assume that the BMW G310 RR will also be released in the U.S. or Europe.  The TVS Apache RR310 was just revised last year for BS6 emissions regulations, which are basically identical to Euro5 regulations.  So there would be nothing to stop a release in Europe and why release a bike that already exists for the Asian market under a different name only for that market?  A worldwide release would make much more sense here.
