The BMW G 310RR shares its design cues from the S1000RR superbike. We say because of the false asymmetric headlights, aggressive front, and rear fairing and the carbon fibre body. However, this is just a concept model and we do not know the exact details of the production body. But, if it really comes with a carbon fibre body, it might be much lighter than the G 310R.
Other noticeable highlights include lower placed clip-on handlebars, a more committed riding posture, the beefy fuel tank, and the rear positioned foot pegs. Also, the upswept exhaust cannot be seen and rather they have an under seat unit. Rest of the gold anodized suspension, rear suspension, brakes, and electricals are borrowed from the G 310R.
