2022 BMW R 18 and R 18 Classic

BMW 2022 Model Announcement
2022 BMW R 18

Expected Availability: Q4 2021

Base MSRP: TBA

Equipment Changes: Reverse assistance and black drivetrain.

Color Schemes: Galaxy Dust Metallic/Titanium Silver 2 Metallic has been added as optional color scheme (see Upgrade Packages), and the First Edition scheme is no longer available.

Updated Upgrade Packages:
Option 719 Design Package AERO – The Option 719 Design Package AERO includes cylinder head covers, front engine cover and left and right intake snorkel covers in aluminum with a brushed, anodized finish. The cylinder head covers feature finely wrought air vents reminiscent of the “streamliners” of the 1920s and 1930s. The highlight is a badge on the front and side covers: This is made of solid copper which is chrome-plated and partially finished in white. The white paint enclosing the number sequence “719” is reminiscent of historical emblems that were typically lined with enamel during that era.

Option 719 seat – The Option 719 seat is an exclusive alternative to the standard seat found on the R 18 and R 18 Classic. In addition to the standard seat height, it offers diamond-shaped quilted embossing and an embroidered BMW logo and the 719 emblem on the side.

Option 719 Paint finish Galaxy Dust metallic/ Titanium Silver 2 metallic – Galaxy Dust metallic is a finish that changes in color spectrum from violet to turquoise blue, depending on the light. In addition, the color pigment creates a unique visual effect when exposed to sunlight. This special finish is combined with a Titanium Silver 2 metallic mirror on the fuel tank. The transition between the two-color surfaces consists of a hand-applied smoke effect familiar from the legendary R 90 S. In addition, the mirror surface is surrounded by a classic white double pin stripe.

Option 719 Wheels AERO and ICON – The two Option 719 wheels – AERO and ICON in matt silver and matt black, respectively, provide a refined and sophisticated look to the R 18 and R 18 Classic. The cast alloy wheels feature a six-spoke design. The milled ribs of the spokes are a real eye-catcher. The milled areas give the aluminum a contrast to the painted surfaces – hence the name Contrast Cut.

New 2022 BMW M 1000 RR

The new M RR uses the S 1000 RR’s water-cooled four-cylinder in-line engine with BMW ShiftCam technology for varying valve timing and valve lift that has been modified comprehensively. With a claimed peak power of 212 HP and maximum torque of 113 Nm, the M RR engine has undergone extensive technical optimization. Including new 2-ring forged pistons from Mahle, adapted combustion chambers, increased compression, longer and lighter titanium connecting rods from Pankl, slimmer and lighter rocker arms, fully machined intake ports with new duct geometry, as well as a titanium exhaust system.

In addition to a race specified engine, body styling has been heavily influenced by the track. M winglets and high windscreen promise later braking and earlier accelerating with more stability in the corners thanks to the aerodynamic downforce without increasing drag.

Other notable features include two adjustable characteristic throttle curves for optimum response characteristics, threefold adjustable engine braking, quickhifter, incorporated pit lane speed-limiter, hill start assistance, race inspired chassis design and geometry, optimized wheel load distribution and extended adjustability of the swinging arm pivot point. In addition the 6.5-inch TFT display with exclusive M logo animation and OBD interface that can be used with activation code for the M GPS data logger and M GPS laptrigger.

BMW’s 2021 beginner G 310 options arrive from $6,960 + ORC

2021 BMW G 310 R & G 310 GS


BMW’s 2021 editions of the G 310 GS and G 310 R will be arriving in Australia for $7,345 and $6,960 + ORC respectively. The smallest motorcycles in the BMW range boasts a number of refinements for 2021 in the roadster style G 310 R or adventure oriented G 310 GS.

2021 BMW G 310 R

Running a proven 313 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, the G 310 models now feature ryde by wire for sharper throttle response. Automatic idle speed increase when starting also prevents sudden stalling of the engine, which had been a rider complaint on their predecessors.

A slip-assist clutch is also new, reducing engine drag torque on aggressive deceleration while reducing the required operating force at the clutch lever.

2021 BMW G 310 R

The new BMW G 310 R now features a full-LED headlight for even better visibility at night and LED flashing turn indicators for increased visibility in traffic.  Three light functions – high beam, low beam and daytime riding light – can be conveniently operated using the left handlebar controls.

Both the clutch lever and the handbrake lever are also reach adjustable in four stages and are more suited to those with small hands.

2021 BMW G 310 R

Styling updates for G 310 models include cues from the S 1000 R, while three new colour schemes will be available to further set apart the updated models.

The BMW G 310 models are powered by a 313 single-cylinder engine producing 25 kW and 28 Nm of torque, with USD forks and a preload adjustable rear shock unit. BMW Motorrad ABS is standard, with DRLs, full LED lights, a radial front brake caliper and single disc.

2021 BMW G 310 R

Wheels are cast aluminium items, keeping weight down, with a passenger handrail, one-piece seat bench and the choice of Cosmic Black or Polar White in the G310 R, or Limestone Metallic for a $160 premium.

The G 310 GS adds a luggage rack and comes in Polar White, or 40th Anniversary Cosmis Black, or Kayanite Blue Metallic, with the latter two demanding a $125 premium.

BMW G 310 R updated for 2021

2021 BMW G 310 R


BMW have announced an updated G 310 R for 2021, with the popular LAMS machine to receive a host of updates to refine the package on offer. The bike is expected to arrive in Australia in Q1 or 2021, although pricing and full specifications are yet to be announced. Styling has also been tweaked, particularly around the tank and radiator cowls for a cleaner look.

The 2021 BMW G 310 R alongside the G 310 GS

The 313 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder that comprises the heart of the G 310 models will now be Euro5 homologated, and receives an electromotive throttle controller, with BMW promising a more sensitive throttle response as a result. Power remains 34 hp at 9500rpm and torque peaks at 28 Nm at 7500 rpm, offering strong if not class leading power.

2021 BMW G 310 R – Polar White

With a bit of a reputation for being easy to stall the G 310 R also receives a new automatic idle speed increase system that when starting prevents the engine from stalling suddenly. That’s going to be a welcome addition to new riders facing the challenge of learning clutch control for the first time.

2021 BMW G 310 R – Cosmic Black

A shift-assist clutch is another addition, providing a light feel at the lever, as well as limiting compression lock on aggressive downshifting.

2021 BMW G 310 R

Also new for 2021 is an LED headlight and indicators, joining the existing LED taillight, with the headlight to include daytime running lights, with the rider able to switch between high beam, low beam and DRLs.

2021 BMW G 310 R

A premium update designed to accommodate a larger variety of riders is the additional of adjustable levers for both the brake and clutch, offering four positions and removing the need to retro-fit adjustable levers.

2021 BMW G 310 R

2021 will see the BMW G 310 R arrive in three colour options, Cosmic Black, Polar White and with a Sport Limestone Metallic option also available. Engine housing covers, footrest plate and grab handle have all also been painted Titanium Grey Metallic on the new models, for a much darker look that helps draw the bike together.

2021 BMW G 310 R – Sport Limestone Metallic

We’ll have to wait for full specifications to see whether there are any other tweaks, as well as for pricing and more specific availability information. For now, we just know the new G 310 R will be arriving in Australia in Q1, 2021.

BMW Teases the New BMW G 310 R

BMW’s small-displacement G 310 R has been a real winner for the last couple of years, but now the company is working on some new versions of the bike.

The company’s India website recently teased the new G 310 R. You can book a motorcycle now. This is the first official teaser we’ve seen on the company’s website. BMW isn’t pushing the bike yet on its other websites yet. The Indian one is the first I’m seeing of it.

Earlier this year, the bike was spotted testing alongside the G 310 GS. So, this isn’t a huge surprise, but the details of the machine are still unclear. It should be a minor update to the model. The main changes will be focused on the engine and making it compliant with the ever-tightening emissions in India.

According to RideApart, although BMW usually launches products first in Europe, the company will launch the new G 310 R (and likely the G 310 GS) in India first and then spread it out from there to other markets. That means if you live in Europe, North America, Australia, or anywhere else for that matter, you’ll have to wait for these new small-displacement machines.

The Enthusiast Magazine

Prices and details will be available at a later date. It’s good to see BMW making progress on these. The sooner the G 310 R and G 310 GS launch in India, the sooner they will be sent around the world.
