The TVS Apache 310’s brother from another mother – the BMW G 310 RR – has finally been launched in India, at a price of Rs. 2.85 lakh for the base variant. A higher trim, called the Style Sport, is priced at Rs. 2.99 lakh, ex-showroom. The BMW G 310 RR is a fully faired motorcycle, with distinct styling that differentiates it from the Apache RR 310.

Apart from selling the G 310 RR in India, BMW Motorrad will export the sportsbike to countries around the world.
