BMW Motorrad Unveils Racing Red G310R, India Launch on July 18, 2018

Racing Red G310R Officially Revealed: An official invite from BMW clears that G310R and G310GS will launch in India on July 18, 2018. The event will mark the entry of popular lightweight BMW motorcycles into the Indian automotive segment. As they were already being manufactured in India, fans were highly awaiting this date for a long time. BMW has internationally replaced the Blue shade with Racing Red scheme, leaving other two (White and Black) options intact. This means India will also get Red as its first BMW G310R shade. BMW is also preparing all dealerships to handle a large number of fans that may arrive after its launch.

Expected price for both G310R and G310GS will stay under INR 3 lakh (ex-showroom). This tag will further decide the number of buyers who dream of owning a BMW bike one day.
