BMW F310 GS
Motociclismo has posted these revealing images of
the BMW F310 GS (BMW G310R-based adventure tourer) ahead of its reported debut
at the EICMA 2016 in Milan, Italy, which starts on November 10.
The BMW F310 GS (speculated
name) borrows its design from its elder sibling, the BMW R 1200 GS, though it
is based on the G310R. Even the design of the headlight is identical to the BMW
G310R, which is expected to launch in India in the coming weeks.
The motorcycle is seen with newly-designed
half-fairings, the ‘GS’ name engraved on the fuel tank, long-travel suspension
with forks painted in a Golden shade, on/off-road tyres, a new engine cowl, and
a redesigned rear with provision to mount one’s luggage.
On the powertrain front, the BMW F310 GS will
continue using the G310R’s 313 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine paired
to a six-speed transmission. The fuel-injected engine produces 34 hp and 28 Nm
of torque on the naked streetbike, and could be retuned for the adventure
tourer.
Engineered by BMW, the BMW F310 GS will be made by
TVS Motor in India at its Hosur facility. It will likely share assembly lines
with the BMW G310R and the TVS Akula 310 (TVS’s version of the G310R), and will
primarily target the Royal Enfield Himalayan, which is priced at INR 1.56
lakhs, ex-Showroom, New Delhi.
