Sad but true.
With all the hype surrounding the highly anticipated BMW G310R, we can confirm that BMW Malaysia will NOT be offering the baby Motorrad for the Malaysian market this year.
The baby beemer was supposed to make its debut in the third or fourth quarter of 2016 but our sources have confirmed that the 313cc entry-level BMW will only make it here next year for reasons unknown.
The G310R has been highly anticipated as it opens up the fantastic world of BMW Motorrad to an all new segment. There has been no confirmed indication on pricing but market speculation whispered prices of around RM30,000 – RM40,000 or lower. Dealers were also reportedly taking orders on the bike, you can read about that by clicking here.
The move comes as a surprise as the BMW G310R was officially on tour recently around Malaysia and was available for viewing at selected BMW Motorrad outlets. That move was seen a pre-launch move to get the market ready for launch. So the launch delay comes as a surprise for all of us.
The G310R was officially introduced to the world at the 2015 EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan, Italy. You can read all about the motorcycle and view the full gallery by clicking here.
More updates coming your way as soon as we get them.
The anticipation for the soon the be launched BMW G310R is getting hotter. So hot that dealers are already accepting bookings for the new entry level BMW in anticipation of increasing demand.
A post on mudah.my by a dealer of BMW Motorcycles has welcomed a 20% downpayment on the 310R with deliveries expected to begin in June this year.
As for the price, there has been no clear indication of that but there is word from a recent dealer conference that prices are set to begin from RM25,000 up till RM30,000 with a long list of accessories set to take those prices up higher should you wish to do so.
We know that the G310 will eventually spawn a mini sports adventure touring model similar but much smaller from the BMW GS. There will also be a full sports model similar to the RR (read about it here) and the regular naked model we see in the pictures here.
The official launch event is said to be happening sometime in March.
Once introduced, the new G310R model will take on the likes of the KTM 250 and the 390, Kawasaki Z300, the Yamaha MT-03 and others.
The G310R will be the most affordable BMW motorcycle ever, and is powered by an all-new 313cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine with four valves and two overhead camshafts together with electronic fuel injection.
It outputs 34hp at 9500rpm and 28Nm of torque at 7500rpm. We had an informal introduction with the G310R in Milan late last year, you can read all about it by clicking here.
