There are many reasons for it, those to do with what the market wants and those to do with what BMW has going on internally on a production level and when you combine those two very basic things and look at the bigger picture it can make a lot of sense as to why they would do it now rather than wait. If this was a higher priced segment then I can see why they'd wait.I didn't expect the two to be released at the same time at all. I thought the GS variant would come at least 3-4 months after.
For anyone they will be the only difference is how long and how much you pay since that will undoubtedly vary. Hence why I like living in cities known to have a lot of dealers and riders, good chance there will be local stock, not something coming from overseas.The same accessories should be available globally, just hope they don't charge too much for a 12V socket. I need it for my phone or GPS.
Did they by any chance mention what allocation of the GS will be like once they get a shipment or do you at least have some idea of what it could be?So I popped into my local BMW dealer this morning and got talking about the 310's. They've had quite a few people interested din then so will be getting g both versions in the how room.
They had a look on their system and they have a handfull of 310r's showing as currently being built in the factory.
The 310gs is apparently showing as June. However he reckons this is incorrect as these orders have not been updated in months...
Their understanding is both versions will be released along side all the other new BMW bikes on the 25th February. So I'll pop back in then!
