Just found a spec comparison chart for the BMW G310R on motorbeam.com.
From left to right: Duke 390 vs BMW G310R vs Mojo vs Yamaha R3 vs Ninja 300

It's all dependent on where BMW prices the g310r at if they want to attract the riders who are thinking of getting one of their competitors bikes.

Top of the range is what i'm thinking they'll aim for, just not sure how much more, in the end it should be a price that's easy for someone to move to without much second guessing.

 

[EvryDayRide]

Maybe somewhere around the 6k mark? I think the Duke is around 5k and the Ninja is around 6k. So somewhere around there to be competitive.

 

[bmwrider]

To start, yeah that should be it. Out the door with what ever accessories and options someone adds, it could be more. Maybe ABS will be optional.

 

[EvryDayRide]

Nah, the ABS is supposed to be standard equipment. From looking at the chart, only the Duke 390 has ABS also. That will be g310r main competitor.

 

[bmwrider]

True say.

Good to see that is indeed the case, looked up the duke and the two-channel ABS it has is indeed standard.
Say it was optional, how much would you expect it to cost?

 

[EvryDayRide]

No idea. Think we can get a general idea by comparing the price of a model's abs and non abs trim.

never heard of Mojo before. Is that the bike in the center? It looks nice. Not nearly as powerful though. Is it India only or something like that?

 

[LiquidCool]

It's the Mahindra Mojo made by an Indian company so that's probably why we haven't heard much about them. I think the bike is limited to Indian too so I'm not qutie sure why it's on that list even if it's in the same segment.

First time hearing of them as well, probably new company, which in this segment could make sense, being a lucrative segment.

 

[EvryDayRide]

The mojo seems to be a touring bike but if a buyer is looking at it as a possible bike they may as well increase their budget and get the G310R. You get ABS, better acceleration, handling and agility along with a more well known brand badge.

That and the dealer support helps, BMW dealers are common enough for the most of us, it's one of the reasons why i see people not going for KTM although there are some upsides to owning one.

 

[EvryDayRide]

Good point. I think there's only one store where I live that sells the KTM whereas a BMW dealership is a lot more common.

Yup.

Also one thing I THINK might be possible with BMW is that you can order parts through BMW Automotive dealers, so you might not have to venture out all the way to a BMW Motorcycle Dealer if they're farther away.

This chart has no application outside of India.

The indian market is skewed by tarrifs. For example the R3 and Ninja 300 are NOT produced in India and therefore suffer increased prices as a result.

You need to compare Euro prices for a 'fair' comparison.

 

[bmwrider]

That might explain for KTM doing better in India.

That might explain for KTM doing better in India.

the KTM is manufactured in India, yes...

 

[bmwrider]

I think that's only limited to the 200's and 390's. The rest might be produced elsewhere.

 

[EvryDayRide]

The chart is good for comparing everything else if not the price.
