I think journalists are starting to test ride the g310r because I found this picture on instagram that was posted 2 days ago. Pretty sure dealerships don't put number stickers on the front fender. We could be seeing some reviews soon!
I think those test bikes are in Europe. People there have been posting pictures of themselves on the g310r. It's going to be a while until they hit NA shores.
There's still a chance that BMW is still testing them in North America but we'll only find out if they want us to find out or if someone 'happens' to spot them.
If they are testers then have a look into where journalists are going to test these and if you happen to live in that market then it means some discounted G310R's for you!
I actually really wonder what they do with these. Because technically they're considered used... so do they really just sell them back to people who want to buy a used one for a discounted price ?
No, those test bikes are generally scrapped and not sold to the public. Seems a waste but that's how it is in the industry. I'm sure someone out there would want a discounted g310r but BMW just won't do it.
On top of that, how would they justify who gets a discounted one. Especially when launching a bike, you can't just have a select 15-20 that you're willing to throw out there for anywhere under sticker price. Just doesn't make sense.
I've had a lot of bikes over the years. I have three now. But I really love this bike. All from today on a short ride near our home in New Jersey. Anyone else here with one?
Painted front fender and rear fairings black. Changed out hand rails with a black luggage rack (Givi Topcase forthcoming). Pulled off side fairings. Added engine crash bars. I read in other threads that people thought that stripping the side fairings gave the bike an emaciated look. I agree but...
