BS6 BMW G 310 R G 310 GS India Launch Date Revealed

BS6 BMW G 310 R, G 310 GS

BMW India has confirmed the launch date for the BMW G 310 twins. The BS6 version of BMW’s most affordable bikes in India will debut on October 8. Although the new emission norms came into effect in April 2020, the launch of the BS6 BMW G 310 R and the BMW G 310 GS was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bookings for both the BMW bikes had already commenced in August.

Teaser images indicate BMW will not just be updating both bikes with a BS6 powerplant but also LED headlights. The BS6 BMW G 310 R and the G 310 GS are also likely to be offered in new colour options to differentiate themselves from their predecessor.

The TVS Apache RR 310 received the BS6 treatment earlier this year and its power output remained unchanged despite the transition. The liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor is rated at 34PS and 27.3Nm. We are hopeful that even the BMW engines will make the transition without any power loss.

While most two-wheelers have witnessed a price hike with the BS6 update, our sources say BMW Motorrad has a surprise in store for us. Rumours suggest the BS6 BMW G 310 R and the G 310 GS could receive a price cut of around Rs 30,000 to Rs 50,000! One of the main reasons the BMW bikes have failed to strike a chord with Indian buyers is their premium pricing. If the German brand manages to reduce prices, it could look forward to better sales figures. Watch this space for more updates.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

Honda HNess Cruiser India Launch Tomorrow

Honda is all set to launch its first small-capacity retro motorcycle tomorrow. The recent trademark images suggest that the upcoming motorcycle might be called H’Ness, and cost around Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom). There were rumours about the upcoming bike being the Honda Rebel 300. However, going by the recently-released teaser of the exhaust note , it is likely to pack an old-school air-cooled long-stroke fuel-injected motor displacing somewhere around 350-400cc. That’s a complete departure from the single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine in the Rebel. Expect plenty of low-end torque accompanied by the traditional Honda-levels of refinement in the upcoming bike. For representation The Honda H'Ness is expected to come with the same roadster-like design language as the Honda CB1100 EX. It is likely to feature a traditional front fork, twin rear shock absorbers and disc brake on both ends with ABS as standard. For an added retro appeal, expect it to use spoke wheels with tubed ...
