Their configuration page is most likely still under revision, there isn't even a brochure for the G 310 R let alone a proper build page.
It's just too bad that you still need to see those colors in person to really decide on what you want unless you already feel strongly towards certain colors, which in that case this configurator could be enough.At least the colors change and you can get different views![]()
But seems like it's just to give people something to look at whilst they figure out finishing the configurator. Keeps the interest.
On motorrad.co.uk/uk/en/bike/adventure/g310gs/g310gs_overview.htmlThink they'll do the same for the GS? Just put up an unfinished build page with colors only?
I originally wanted the white but when I saw the Strato Blue I loved it.It's just too bad that you still need to see those colors in person to really decide on what you want unless you already feel strongly towards certain colors, which in that case this configurator could be enough.At least the colors change and you can get different views![]()

In my situation I hope Strato Blue looks as vibrant as it does in those pictures.
I get what your saying, but... this being their first go at a motorcycle being produced out of country, lessons areIt has nothing to do with being a new model as BMW hierarchy do not appear to treat the G310R as a real BMW motorcycle. They would not introduce a 1200GS model in such a casual manner. I think BMW have behaved abominably in the shabby way that they have introduced the G310R to the market place with delayed introduction times and lack of spares and accessories, despite their usual advertising. I think it's time for BMW to have an emergency committee meeting at the highest level to sort out all of the problems, especially the non availability of accessories - the centre stand (or lack of it even though it was originally in the advertising!) in particular.
After rereading my reply it does sound like I am making excuses.I thought that the G650GS was produced in Korea by Kymco. If that is the case, then BMW should have all the experience of bikes being manufactured outside Germany. The 650 Funduro was also manufactured by Aprilia in Italy. If there was a rush to get the G310 into the markets, I would hate to see how long it would take if they took their time. Don't make excuses for BMW as, I have said before, they would not have made the same mistakes with a 1200GS flagship model. If they have learnt their lesson, why are parts and accessories still in short supply twelve months after being introduced?
According to a guy on the German forum you're following, "the Moto Industry Assocaition says the G 310 R is ranked 43 with 713 units in the stats for 2017. A quite good number given the fact the R Nine T Scrambler is ranked 38 and the R 1200 RT is still behind the 310". So, bestseller or not ? :wink2:i think the european market is small for this bike
they thought there was a bigger market in europe but it isnt
And the people who bought the bikes are not the age what was in there mind of the devolepers (younger people)
So time will tell of this bike is a bestseller or not
So far not in europe.
