Words: Mathieu Day-Gillett Photos: Geoff Osborne BMW’s ‘big’ GS models too big or too expensive for you? come take a look at this... B MW’s G310GS has been with us a few years now, yet strangely for a bike that is the gateway drug into one of the most passionate fan bases around, it hasn’t been the standout hit for dealers some might have suspected it would be. With the LAMS class overwhelmingly running away with the top of the NZ sales charts, the G310GS has somehow been forgotten in the race. A crying shame if you ask me, as the 313cc adventure tourer is a cracking little bike for the money. Based on the G310R platform, the G310GS shares its power plant and frame with the roadster, but that is where the obvious similarities end. 96 KIWI RIDER
