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.
Conclusion - what sticks
Clearly: The Zero DSR/X offers a lot of driving pleasure! It is a good bike with good components and full performance. Unfortunately, not much has changed in terms of range and charging power compared to the previous Zeros - and so the question remains, especially with an adventure bike, for whom such a machine is suitable or for what. Nevertheless, electric motorcycles already have a special appeal, even if many bikers have nothing to do with it (yet). To be able to glide silently through the area and leave every Porsche at home - and without emissions - that's something.The test bike was kindly provided by Tecius & Reimers for this test. There you will find a lot of Zeros to try out. Dare to do so, this will really put you in a good mood! And for city dwellers who need a two-wheeler especially for the way to work and perhaps have a B.196 certificate, the small Zeros are ideal! Let Joachim advise you, he knows...
