BMW G 310 Discontinued for Europe

Increasingly strict European emission standards have taken out many models. The latest to join them are the BMW G 310 R and GS. BMW has confirmed to MOTORRAD that these models will not receive the required updates to comply with Euro 5+ emissions and will instead be discontinued in Europe. The F 450 will take the place of BMW’s entry-level motorcycle, conveniently rated at 48 horsepower, the maximum allowed for a European A2 license. Perhaps this is why BMW has been working on a F 450 GS, which will replace its smaller sibling.

While the MOTORRAD article is understandably European-focused, let’s take a look at the global picture. This does not mean the end of the G 310 as we know it. The R and GS versions will continue to be available in other parts of the world, as well as the G 310 RR, which isn’t sold in Europe. Production partner TVS will continue to build it in India and export it to non-Euro 5+ countries. This isn’t the end of BMW’s single-cylinder motorcycle for all global markets.
