Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW G 310 GS 2020

The BMW is a great, simple and very comfortable entry-level motorbike for adventurous everyday riders. Both commuting and day trips work very well with it. But the power is already quite low. With 34 hp, it is very beginner-friendly, but you very quickly wish for more punch and power. Especially at a price of about 6000 €, it is questionable whether one can financially cope with such a quick change of motorbikes, or not go straight for a more powerful bike in the A2 class.

Comfortable seating position

low weight

high-quality workmanship

beginner-friendly throttle response

also possible to ride through light terrain.

little power, especially at higher speeds

high price
