The much-awaited BMW G 310 R, which would be its most affordable model on sale, has been delayed and is expected to arrive in India sometime in 2018. Rumour mills also suggest that the G 310 R could arrive as early as towards the end of 2017. However, there's been no confirmation of a launch date from BMW as yet. Once launched, the G 310 R will rival the KTM 390 Duke and is expected to be priced around Rs. 2.5 lakh (ex-showroom).
