Recently, the BMW Group India released data on its first-quarter 2023 sales results. It reported a 50% rise in two-wheeler sales, totaling 4,667 units. At this time, the G 310 R, G 310 RR, and G 310 GS collectively made up nearly 90% of all sales for BMW Motorrad. In India, the market for sub-500cc naked street bikes has expanded due to the arrival of the Triumph Speed 400, which has a reasonable price. The Speed 400 costs Rs 2.33 lakh, which is less than the BMW G 310 R, which is priced at Rs 2.85 lakh. All are ex-showroom figures. The BMW G 310 R has so far been the most well-liked model in the sub-500cc class, but with the introduction of the Speed 400, only time will tell if it will be able to hold onto that position. But for the time being, we have compared the recently released Triumph motorcycle with the G 310 R manufactured by BMW on various criteria. So, without further ado, let's see how these two bikes fare against each other.
