BMW G 310 R 2021

BMW G 310 R 2021

Okay, many competitors have disappeared from the BMW G 310 R with more displacement and thus more horsepower. But in the 300cc class, the small R is a really honest naked bike: the engine revs agilely, the handling is lively yet stable, the brakes work satisfactorily and the look is quite convincing with the fat, golden fork and the modern elements.

Engine revs nicely

well-behaved brake

beautiful appearance

pleasant seating position

Less power than the competition

It is always fascinating how much riding fun Honda has packed into the small Rebel 500. The technology is familiar thanks to the modular system and should - typically for Honda - last forever. Now, with the update for 2020, the little Rebel presents itself cooler than ever, because LED lighting and the optional Special Edition with quilted seat make it a cool custom cruiser ex works. Only the front brake could use more lard and the engine is a little characterless, even compared to the direct competition. Nevertheless, it is and remains a real insider's tip for cruiser lovers!

compact dimensions

reasonable performance

lively handling

cool look with lots of custom potential

successful facelift for 2020

too compact for tall pilots

readability of the display

front brake requires too much hand force
