On the first few metres, I briefly thought that the power was a bit lacking. However, after a while it quickly became clear that power is not everything and that ultimate driving pleasure can be guaranteed even with little horsepower. In the US, there are traffic rules called "lane splitting", which means moving forward between cars when there is a traffic jam. Before the traffic lights, for example. I have to admit that I didn't feel so comfortable here at the beginning. A Porsche on the left, a Dodge on the right, you really don't want to swerve with your bike. However, the handlebars of the BMW G310R are rather narrow and you can really cheat your way forward through the queues of cars without a second thought! The only shortcoming I noticed right at the start is the brake pedal. Unfortunately, it's a bit far down. The rear brake was also a little late in engaging. But that can certainly be optimised with an adjustment. All in all, it is a very successful bike. It is super versatile, really fun in every area and you feel comfortable from the first moment! Depending on the rev range you are in, you can adapt the bike to your riding style. Cruising at low revs and super sporty riding at high revs! The perfect all-round roadster at a great price.
