The BMW G310R is the most affordable BMW motorcycle
and is expected to be launched in India later this year. Italian automotive
designer O.Bezzi has toyed with his creativity and rendered a scrambler (BMW
G310GS Classic Concept), café racer (BMW G310 Classic Racer Concept) and an
all-out faired sports motorcycle (BMW HP1 Sport Concept) based on the German
single cylinder motorcycle. Note that these are unofficial renders.
The BMW G310GS Classic concept has been rendered
with an upswept exhaust, knobby off-road centric tyres, a redesigned fuel tank
and possibly an increased ground clearance. The spoke wheels add to the
off-roader image and the front fender has been raised. The front suspension may
get increased travel if the bike ever becomes a reality, and may gain design
inspiration from the BMW R nine T Scrambler.
The artist rendered café racer, which he calls BMW
G310 Classic Racer Concept, is another take on the German roadster. The
headlamp has been given a new cowl while the radiator guard has been extended
to be a part of the tank extension. The traditional café racer imagery has been
completed with a cowl on the pillion seat. The fuel tank has also been given
grips which will help the rider lock the knees.
The sportiest of the three renders, the BMW HP1
Concept, gets a full fairing and traces its origins to the BMW HP4 Race
unveiled at Auto Shanghai 2017 in April 2017. The fairing though misses out on
the gill slits seen in the BMW S1000RR and HP4 Race. The rendered motorcycle is
also showcased with a clip-on handlebar.
The BMW G310R naked roadster and its adventure
tourer version, the BMW G 310GS, is powered by a 313 cc liquid-cooled,
four-valve, DOHC, single cylinder mill coupled to a 6-speed gearbox. The engine
is capable of producing 34 PS of maximum power at 9,500 rpm and 28 Nm of peak
torque at 7,500 rpm.
