PETALING JAYA: BMW Motorrad Malaysia will introduce three new premium motorcycles – the all-new BMW G 310 R, the new BMW S 1000 R and the BMW R 1200 GS Adventure at the Malaysian leg of the BMW Motorrad GS Trophy 2017 South East Asia Qualifier over the weekend of Aug 12 and 13, 2017 at the Sepang Motorcross Track.
The prices (on-the-road without insurance, inclusive of 6% GST) of the new BMW Motorrad motorcycles are:
BMW G 310 R – RM 26,900
BMW S 1000 R – RM 92,900
BMW R 1200 GS Adventure – RM 116,900
The All-New BMW G 310 R
Embodying the true concept of riding pleasure, the new roadster introduces a newly developed 313 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with four valves and two overhead camshafts together with electronic fuel injection.
The capacity of 313cc results from a bore of 80 millimetres and a stroke of 62.1 millimetres.
The striking feature of the engine is its backward-tilted cylinder in open-deck design with the cylinder head turned by 180 degrees, making it possible to position the intake tract at the front, viewed in the direction of travel.
With an output of 34hp at 9 500rpm and a maximum torque of 28Nm at 7 500 rpm, the engine of the new G 310 R is a very dynamic partner in conjunction with the low unladen weight of 158.5 kilograms.
The new G 310 R offers a torsionally stiff, highly robust tubular steel frame in grid structure with bolt-on rear frame. The front wheel suspension is taken care of by a solid upside-down fork while at the rear there is an aluminium swinging arm in conjunction with a spring strut that is mounted on it directly.
Like all BMW motorcycles, the new G 310 R is fitted with ABS as standard. It combines a powerful brake system with 2-channel ABS. At the front wheel, a single-disc brake with radially bolted 4-piston fixed caliper and a brake disc diameter of 300mm ensures powerful and stable deceleration.
At the rear, this function is performed by a 2-piston floating caliper in conjunction with a 240-millimetre brake disc.
The G 310 R instrument cluster has a large liquid crystal display that offers excellent clarity and a wide range of information.
The New BMW S 1000 R
The new BMW S 1000 R features the well-proven 999cc in-line 4-cylinder engine. Having been adapted to meet all EU4 requirements, the new BMW Motorrad now has an output of 165hp at 11, 000rpm – 5 hp higher than before – and weighs 2kg less.
In conjunction with the standard HP titanium rear silencer, the new S 1000 R now produces an even more potent sound.
The New BMW S 1000 R now also features vibration-decoupled handlebars, which reduces the smallest vibrations being passed to the handlebar ends. This promotes better ride handling, comfort and pleasure.
For optimum adaptation to the rider’s personal preferences and area of use, the new S 1000 R now provides two riding modes as well as ASC (Automatic Stability Control) as standard features.
With the riding modes “Rain” and “Road”, the S 1000 R can be adapted in power and torque delivery as well as in terms of the control response of the Race ABS and ASC to road surface conditions. This is a significant safety bonus when riding on changing surfaces in particular.
The BMW S 1000 R now is made available in two new additional colours of Catalano Grey and Racing Red/Black Storm.
The New BMW R 1200 GS Adventure
Much like all the BMW Motorrad models which features the liquid cooled boxer engines, the New BMW R 1200 GS Adventure has also been developed with a judder damper on the transmission output shaft.
The new feature includes a revised selector drum actuator, transmission shafts and transmission shaft bearing as well as an OBD indicator lamp in the cockpit.
For the first time, the “Triple Black” – the special version of the BMW R 1200 GS has established its own tradition and the name says it all.
BMW Motorrad Malaysia is responding to a wish expressed by many customers by bringing out this impressive travel enduro in a virtually all-black finish.
The central fuel tank cover, storage compartment lid and front mudguard in Blackstorm together with fuel tank side panels in Dark Slate give the legendary travel enduro a strikingly masculine look.
Powerful technical accentuations are provided by the front and rear frame in Agate Grey in combination with the black engine, gearbox and swinging arm.
A new black seat with striking GS embossment on the passenger section rounds off the striking appearance of the new R 1200 GS “Triple Black”.
