- In today’s video I will review the BMW GS 310 and answer the question if it deserves the bmw gs name.
This video was preproduced before my trip to Italy, but plans changed. That’s why it’s releasing now

Think it’s the best looking adventure bike out there. Wished the cc’s were little larger though.
If BMW had given it more power, a larger tank and better suspension, it would’ve been a potential unicorn but then it would’ve eaten into the sales of the 750/800/850s
I think you’re right, I wish I knew about these in the summer, I would have bought one for sure. Now it’s winter and I have to wait till spring🙁
It will be my first motorcycle, it seems perfect for beginners. I’m drooling over how stylish it is, compared to other enduro beginner bikes that I thought looked ugly.
Mine is perfect for the Arizona desert, although I try to stay off the freeways ... any bigger and it would be too heavy for off roading in the desert ... mine is the same coloring as this one ... I love it!!!
@@dashuntas.m4045absolutely. Shame they didnt.... love mine anyhow tho! Just a shame to give it not a 10/10, as it got the potential
That's what the 1250cc is for
This video was preproduced befor my trip to Italy. Plans changed so to the Morocco Film getting so mutch attention. That’s why it’s releasing now .
This channel is a hidden gem, truly a tikking bomb waiting to be a real success soon!
I loved your reviews, and the moroco trip was truly a work of art. You are good at this man.
Best wishes from Mexico

Thank you for the Kind words. I Hope it will continue to grow
1:00 - I gotta be honest and say that the G310GS *IS* the most appealing look. 🙂 My 91 year old mom tells me all the time what a pretty bike it is. 😀 Admittedly, aesthetics are subjective.
I love the baby GS. Based on the number I'm seeing and the fact that BMW doesn't seem to be promoting it at all, I conclude that the G310GS is a big seller for BMW Motorrad. I wish they'd introduce an upscale G310GS Adventure with a 5 gallon fuel tank, aluminum bash plate, engine protection bars, rebound and preload adjustable suspension front and rear, larger and more aggressive off road foot pegs, tubeless spoke wheels, and maybe some common add-ons such as a dual high current USB charging port, windshield, folding mirrors, hand protecting brush guards, heated grips, larger foot on the kickstand, etc. Of all of my wish list, the larger fuel tank was the only thing I was unable to find in the after market, although I kept the original alloy wheels which are fine for the old man riding that I do.
I disagree re: the looks. I think BMW nailed it and designed a handsome vehicle. I especially love the different color options available.
The Looks definetly fit bmw Design Language. So they definitely put effort in to it. It’s kind of a subjective thing but cool color options are always great☺️
I also think BMW nailed the aesthetics on the G310GS. It looks like a much larger bike and definitely doesn't look like it was built to a budget even though it was.
The best color is black. 😀
Been thinking of this or the pitvilan trading crf 250 L
The looks is amazing. much sexier than cb500x from honda and others in the A2 segment. best looking imo
Thank you for mentioning touring on it in Europe. Getting mine in June and planning to visit few countries and was a bit worried if it can handle me and a bit of luggage, but now I don't worry anymore. Great videos, keep doing great job! 👌🏻👍🏻
Ah no worries, in general even if it is not as fast with luggage. During touring you have a more relaxed layed back riding style anyway
I had. Himalayan for almost a year but was disappointed with the lack of power and the engine rattle. I’m considering the BMW 310 and KTM 390. At age 71, I’m looking for a lighter bike for commuting and weekend rides.
just mounted on the ktm the suzuky and the bmw. The ktm 390 is really tall and uncomfortable, the suzuki is a bit more comfortable, and test rode the bmw and its a delight just needs more power
thanks bro. im a year riding a motorcycle, just a 125cc. Looking for un upgrade, to get better, and 34hp a 310cv its a nice change. Live in ibiza so i have a lot of dirt rocky roads, and also will used to go to work. Its a perfect balance and a bmw trusted bike its what im looking for. I dont want that much power, 100/120km per hour its enough for me. It really helps me decide. Thanks for the review. Looking forward to get my A2 and get better at riding with a proper bike.
I've had mine over 4 years now, still loving it, i go basically anywhere with it but do have skid plate, 50/50 tyres and a pipe to make it better.
Very happy to hear that. It’s probably quit fun off-road
It's great on the beach. @@FreeMilesMC
That must be amazing in Australia that you can just go to all these places.
I remember driving on the beaches in Australia with my old holden comodore and going from surf beach to surfbeach. While living in my car
greetings mate! another well documented fine review on your channel ! For a beginner rider who is into touring and light trail,how would you compare it to kawasaki versys x 300? keep up the good work!!
keep the great work!
Thanks. Trying my best
“ Riding an low-displacement bike fast, may provide similar reward, as riding a high-displacement bike slow.”
cool video man great comments on the bike
Thank you
You do reviews now?! Hell yeahh
Yea, whenever I can get my hands on a motorcycle ☺️
A guy named @WildlensbyAbrar travels from Germany to Pakistan and Pakistan to Saudi Arabia on Bmw gs his 310
Its light weight and punches above its weight fitting some rally road parts will solve a lot of issues full exhaust system bash plate spoke rims and off road tires or dual purpose tires the system can have better springs depending on what you want.
That is a good video and a balanced review. At least they have kept the price reasonable so you can add personal modifications such as the skid plate or different exhaust when you can afford them. (PS. Please can you say how tall you are when you mention your height - I am guessing 1.9m)
Thanks. I am 1.95 and the bike works well for my hight. (It’s nearly impossible to find a small cc bike for my height)
Inseam is also important to me.
Fully agree...a breeze of fresh air after my Harlley....😂
Awesome videos. I really enjoyed your outstanding and sometimes a little bit scared trip to Morocco. I definitely can relate with your experience. Ah btw where did you got your jacket? Servus:-)
Great review!
Some reviewers mention heat affecting rider or motor on some bikes. I haven't heard anything negative about this exhaust design, whereas the RE in hot climates or V-2 rear cylinders...
The exhaust flowing out the back of the engine is well away from the rider. That's one of the design features that I appreciate about the G310GS. The exhaust is also well protected so it's not damaged when riding off road.
Hey mate, I bought the 310 GS as my first bike and I love it. Of course I can't compare to other bikes but this one is great for beginners IMO. I liked the offroad tracks that you did BTW, could you please suggest how to find some offroad tracks in Germany? I moved here recently, I can't find any offroad tracks to ride the bike, every one I find has the "forbidden for cars and motorbikes" sign and offroad is one of the reasons I got this bike, I wanted to go on and offroad. Oh and one more thing, what mic are you using in this video, sounds very good. Is it connected to the GoPro wirelessly or to some other device and you record your audio separately? Thanks.
When it comes to off-road in Germany I have to disappoint you. Off-roading is basicly illegal everywhere in Germany. And on top of that most people walking around are making often a huge fuss when they see people doing it.
I use a microphone from a comunication system form Louis but they don’t produce it anymore. So I am currently looking for a good way to record audio again.
I record separately ☺️
@@FreeMilesMC Ohh no 😏 that was disappointing to hear indeed. Thanks for your reply, wish you great success.
@@alek.andonov there are some areas tho where people leave you alone and it’s not getting reported. You can find them out trough becoming friends with other bikers and talking to them, just remember no one is giving up there secret spots up easily.
Also there are off-road riding facilities that are not as pricey a good one is supposed to be close to Bremen. I have never been tho
@@alek.andonov Hi Alek,there is the HOOPE PARK near Bremen next to the Autobahn A27.The entrance cost you some Euros but it promises much legal fun .I think you can even rent dirtbikes there.
Oh, renting a dirt bike there would also be interesting for me
Reckon there’s some competition in the 300cc class from the Japanese manufacturers that unfortunately aren’t imported to all countries.
Thanks for taking us along for the review…..😉
For example here’s just one, noticed that the Honda Cb300x seems to be available in Brazil but hasn’t been seen in much of Europe.
I always have to see what I can get my hands on at work to review it ☺️
@@FreeMilesMC You‘re doing a fantastic job of it 👍🏽
That would be the Honda CRF300L.
Sounds like a loan mower 😂😅
This kind of sounds are sweet sounds for us in a India 😢
But it’s overall a quit sweet bike. Greetings to India ☺️
I bought one and sold it. Why? Its really a commuter bike. Not great off road, much too heavy for trails. Good for commuter bike. The gears also would not always change smoothly, not sure if it was a defect but sold it before any other problems.
Hey man, do you recommend it for short people?
Rally-Raid UK do a Few parts for this Bike AS WELL as the Honda CB500X.
30 kg less weight. Perfect.👍🙂
Thats a Made in India bike which will be featured in upcoming Mission Impossible movie!
I’m looking for a relaxed riding and inexpensive motorcycle but I have a few concerns about this bike. Any insight from experienced riders who own this would be appreciated.
First I’m worried about the hight I’m 5’8. And second I ride a buell xb 12 Lightning and an sfv650 regularly so is this bike still engaging to ride? My bikes are wonderful but they’re both aggressive and sometimes I just want to enjoy the scenery. I tried a ninja 300 but it just didn’t fit what I wanted. Also I have zero interest in off-roading but I do take the occasional dirt road.
on the used market here these are half the price of 700/750s
Any videos on new himalayan 452?
I made one Video on the bike from the EICMA 2023 i Hope i at some Point can also Test one
Im laughing in 1995 DR650
Are you talking kilometers per hour or mph?
Probably kp/h as I am European but I sometimes include the other specs aswell for amarican viewers
Hi. How tall are you? I’m 192cm tall. I always look ridiculous on any bike so it’s more about the comfort for me. I wonder if this bike would be too small?
I am 195 so you should be good with this one comfort wise
Next time KTM 390 Adventure
I Hope. I have to see witch bikes I can get my hands on
@@FreeMilesMC Hi,Miles.Schön zu sehen ,wie sich deine Abozahlen entwickeln.Mich würde die relativ neue chinesische Marke Voge interessieren.Die haben mit der 300 Rally eine fast 3000 € billigere Konkurrentin zur Honda CRF 300 Rally.Wenn du aus Italien zurück bist kannst du ja mal schauen,ob ein Händler in deiner Umgebung eine rausrückt.Bis dahin viel Spaß und fahr vorsichtig🤓
what is your height brother?
6.5
@@FreeMilesMC Amazing man, God bless.
In the end the Germans always win. (Football wisdom also applicable on motorcycles, especially in Germany)
This sounds like lawn mower :)
Are you complaining that the motorcycles plastics are infact made of plastic? What are the other GS plastics made out of? Sheet metal? Carbon fiber? Wood?....
This guy.....
GS from Ali Express? 😄
The little GS is all plastic...well, I've got a BMW r1200 RT and it's the same thing. Plastic everywhere.
The big bmw are Travel bikes. Plastik geht’s a lot of hate as a material but for that purpose it has a lot of benefits when it comes to the reality of motorcycle travel. ☺️
one of the worst bike i have ever ridden and i am from india
With this being a fake GS, does that mean that my F700GS became a real GS? 😅
You should get a cage to protect the fairings, like stunt bikes have. I have it on my bike in case I fall I won't take much of a loss
I considered full crash bars on my G310GS to protect the fairings but decided instead on Givi engine protection bars to keep weight to a minimum. If (when) I scratch the plastics, I'll take them off, fill and sand them and give them a matte black Krylon Fusion rattle can paint job. I've dropped my baby GS a couple of times, stationary in the garage and low speed in the woods, and it still looks new.
