Good, but not cheap
So you can imagine enjoying day trips or the ferries of everyday life on normal routes with the BMW G 310 GS. For the big tour she is rather too unrelaxed. BMW is calling for around 6,050 euros for this model. The question then arises as to who should buy this. Sure, it is suitable for beginners qua law. But as a pure beginner bike a bit expensive.
BMW's 310 series has clear qualities. If you can do without the rather limited touring ability anyway, you should take a look at the already mentioned G 310: Here you can save another 700 Euros.
The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann and Söhne in Pinneberg near Hamburg.
For the beautiful little escapes
The Street Twin is not a real travel machine, and not only because of the lack of wind protection. For this, it is ideal for the little freedom in between. With the Triumph you can move quickly, but above all calmly through the area. Delights in her sight, the sound and the lightness of her curves.
Happy for two. Schatzi, Mausi and the curve god are already waiting.
