The news that stated the delay in launch of the G310R was brought few days back as BMW was unable to position the motorcycle correctly as KTM 390 Duke was launched few days back and carried an impressive price tag. This further makes the fact clear that BMW G310GS will even witness a delay in its sales, even after being manufactured in India by TVS. All of the products expect these two will follow the CBU route and carry premium pricing.
