BS6 BMW G 310 Twins Bookings Open

The updated bikes are due to launch very soon

We've already spotted them testing abroad as well as in India, and dealers across the nation have been unofficially accepting bookings for some time now. And finally, BMW Motorrad has begun accepting bookings for the updated BS6-compliant G 310 R and G 310 GS models. It hasn't disclosed the booking amount yet, but this move by BMW indicates to us that a launch is just around the corner. This is just as well, since similarly priced rivals like the KTM 390 Duke and Royal Enfield 650 twins have already received their updates a while ago.

But will it be a case of too little too late for the 310 twins? Well, the good news for prospective buyers is that the BS6 Beemers are likely to be accompanied by a pretty significant price hike, to the tune of Rs 30,000 to Rs 50,000. This will make them far more attractive options, especially considering the fact that the updated bikes will be equipped with more features like LED lighting and ride-by-wire technology.

Unfortunately, one thing that the spy shots don't tell us is whether any improvements have been made to the 313cc engine's long-time Achilles heel: refinement. But if the updated TVS Apache RR 310 is anything to go by, the refreshed Gs should feel a lot smoother than before. To check out our comprehensive review of the updated RR, click here.
