I had a 2018 310GS. I'm 6'2" and 220lbs - and absolutely loved it - stalled a lot on take-off for sure. Put some protection on it, wider foot pegs, bar risers, bigger windshield, and some 50/50 tires - and put 16,000 miles on it in one year - ran it through the backcountry in Colorado (COBDR), Missouri woods and Tennessee mud, and long miles on the Interstate - and would still be riding it if I hadn't bent the frame. Steve will have a blast on this bike - despite it not having a lot of positive reviews.
My son brought the new (in South Africa anyway) GS310 GS Rally, demo home. It has a rather rev-happy, "ride by wire" and some idle adjusting/anti stall set-up. I love the new dark blue colour scheme.
Always a better day of the week when the stars of Motoeuro do their inimitable stuff. Thanks guys. If I ever get back to the north east I will invite you all for beers if thats ok.
Fantastic video. Cracks me up!!! Thank you chaps, great school project, great bloopers!!!! Please, please keep posting these hilarious down to earth videos, your the best 👍
That Rally Raid baby GS looks a lot cobbier than my stock G310GS. Very nice, but I'd like a high front fender for mud. The stalling has been fixed by ride-by-wire on the 2021 G310GS. Not sure what it'd take to retrofit it to the earlier models, but I've grown accustomed to giving it a little extra throttle. At 6' 2", I'm a bit big for the G310GS. A plank seat would allow me to scoot back a couple of inches, but the stock seat has exactly one seating position. I may see about getting a taller aftermarket seat, maybe the Seat Concepts, and slip a seat heater in there. What I really wish I had was some way to put a larger fuel tank on the G310GS. 11 liters is 2.9 gallons. I'd like twice that, mostly because I hate stopping for gas so often. Quibbles aside, I'm loving the baby GS so far. I've always ridden small displacement dual sport thumpers and the BMW is more comfortable and more refined.
I test drove the baby GS and could not agree more. Stalling was a specific feature of the bike, comparing to my CRF300L where I can take off in 3rd gear the GS is terrible....
the problem is the clutch take up. the bite point is only like 10mm wide and right at the end of the lever stroke. once you get used to that you will stall much less. also, getting a smaller front sprocket will give a little more grunt down low and reduce stalling even more.
The 2022s have been fixed of the 3 major issues the previous years were having, but still a great bike and even better video, new sub and like here. Can't wait to ride over there !
Great stuff guys, always look forward to your vids! 👍 Said before, if you need another person I’d be up for it! Just got a 390 Adventure and had it down in Cumbria for some trails and TET. Was great fun, teaser in my latest video with lots of me falling off! 🤣
Cheers, we've just done parts what I think you have in your vid (that crossing in Juniper is horrible!) Stay tuned for this weekend to see! All the best, hope to see you out there :D
Now there’s a question….. the 300L is lighter and at almost 30hp, she’s not far off the 310GS - I do like the 250 Rally, so for me, the 300L would probably be my choice! Cheers :D
I was lucky enough not only to try a Rally Raid 310GS L2 but also ride around the Cotswolds with John Mitchinson who had brought it along to ask him about it. At the time it felt a little underpowered after stepping off my 1200GS but at the time I thought it was a great and capable ( I would like to say little )bike but it definitely had that full bike feel . It’ll be interesting to see how Steve gets on. Always enjoy watching your vids and look forward to your journey across the North will it be a multi day trip with luggage?
One question. Is the front tire a huge difference between 310gs and crf300? I'm thinking about changing my G310GS to something new, mostly due to 19 front tyre. I have a lot of trouble in sand or slick terrain and I wonder if it is my fault or the tyre :). Regarding stalling I'd add two important points. #1. You can get used to it. I'm not stalling anymore. #2. Last year version got a massive update here and is much easier.
See that sounds more like it...I am currently plugging away at what the next bike is...and those rally raids sound very interesting....I have currently the Africa Twin 750 rd04 which has to stay ....but then what do I get as well as that...was thinking of the cb500x with rally conversion....but is it a tadge too porky...how does the BMW GS go on the road? Does anyone notice the lack of 21 inch front wheel? The seat on the GS looks err interesting for off-road🤔
@@byanytwowheels1892 depends what kind of off road you’re wanting to do. The CB500x looks like a similar bike to the one you’ve got……and 200kg. Personally I wouldn’t want anything over 150kg for serious off-road. The KTM 690/Husky 701 are 145kg ish and very good bikes. Certainly piss all over a CB500x for technical off road. Second hand CCM GP450 (115kg) or Honda CRF450L (130kg) would both be excellent choices for dual sport. The CRF300 looks like you could go more or less anywhere on it, 140kg ish and cheap too!

Top work.
These are my favourite types of videos, perfectly spoken, this is the sort of videos resulting from pure enthusiasm
Thanks for the comment :D Cheers!

Beer? We’re up for that👍🍻 cheers!
I can't wait to see the next video
Cheers Mardo :D
What I like is, these are everyday guys having a ton of fun in mud. Just like the rest of us will if given the opportunity.
Fantastic video. Cracks me up!!! Thank you chaps, great school project, great bloopers!!!! Please, please keep posting these hilarious down to earth videos, your the best 👍
Cheers, appreciate your comment :D All the best!
Cracking!
Spaghetti arms. 😂😂😂 great video bonny lad. You should make a bloopers/outtakes video
Ha ha,funny stuff guys!😆
Steve! hahaha brilliant!
I really want a spin on one of these bikes. Look like great fun.
Cheers Ollie thanks for watching…. More to come on the baby GS 👍
@@Motoeuro I look forward to it.

Smashing vid Davey and well done Steve - right funny. Like Steve's T-Shirt btw 😘👍
had to listen to the guest multiple times because it did sound wrong

what set of crash bars are they
What brand of crash bars does the GS have
Looking forward to seeing “H”. I am intrigued as to what that is all about.
A nightmare! What could go wrong? 🥴
@@Motoeuro with me on the keyboard literally anything!
Correct a firmware update should fix the issue
Where are the crash bars from guys ?!
Always a good day when there's a new Motoeuro video... Would you choose the new Honda 300L Rally over the 310 if you had the choice to start over?
Now there’s a question….. the 300L is lighter and at almost 30hp, she’s not far off the 310GS - I do like the 250 Rally, so for me, the 300L would probably be my choice! Cheers :D
Riding back to back atm, and it's the g310 everyday for me
@@motomitchuk4384 it’s a good bike, just that damn seat is awful 😞

IMHO the skinny 21" front on the CRF is far better than the 19" thicker profile of the GS 👍
@@Motoeuro that's what I thought :(. Maybe I will somehow put the 21 wheel to my bmw :D
Good job Steve. Not seen the 310 in the flesh but it looks a like a decent size bike. How much percentage wise of the TET have you got left to do?
Thanks! We're half way over, but it's looking a little rough from now on!
Now there's ur chance to have Steve look at u with jealousy go get yourself a ktm 390 adventure lol
how tall are you.. is it suitable for tall drivers, I'm 199 cm tall..
Steve is about 5 ft 9 hope that helps cheers 👍
Is this a good beginner bike for people with no proper driving experience?
How much does it cost for that full build. I am concerned as I am 6"4
It was a used bike so not sure on build we think stage 1 is about £900 thanks for watching👍
@@Motoeuro then spoke wheels and under armor. Likely 2500 us
@@hesko125 Yeah, probably!
Emboh
170kg is a bit chunky for a 310!
