BMW G310R, on the short list for '17

[Ulvetanna_imp]

Is this bike or engine based on any other existing platform (one that's proven)?
I had awfully bad luck buying a first-year run of the BMW F800ST. Lots of major bugs and minor annoyances....I'm not sure I'd ever do it again!

Sorry for the quick hijack, but your experience is disappointing and I'm hoping unusual. I owned two '07 F800ST's and currently have a '13 F800GT. They are tremendous motorcycles in my opinion. Absolutely zero issues or complaints.

Back to the G310R...

Back to the G310R... Minor stuff. No further issues. My 800GS is fun, fun, fun.

But looking at the G310R, those huge forged triples and 41mm inverted forks look incredible. The 300-class bikes handle extremely well, this thing has far better suspension than any of the Japanese 300's. I'll bet the handling is crazy good, like a Moto3 Naked.
