BMW Motorrad launches G310R and G310S at Rs 2.99-3.49 lakh

BMW Motorrad, the superbike arm of the German luxury car giant on Wednesday launched its most affordable and small superbike yet — the G310R and G310S at Rs 2.99 lakh and Rs 3.49 lakh respectively.

The bikes mark the foray of the company in the fast growing sub 500cc segment and will be produced at its partner home-grown TVS Motor Ltd’s Hosur factory. Powered by a newly developed 313cc water cooled single cylinder 4 stroke engine, the bikes have a maximum power output of 34 bhp and torque of 28 Nm. They can accelerate from 0-50 kph in 2.3 seconds and have a top speed of 143 kmph.

The launch of these two bikes succeeds the Apache 310R in December 2017. Essentially the same product, Apache 310R is the mobike being sold by TVS under its brand name. Courtesy the lower premium that the TVS nameplate commands compared to a BMW, the Apache is priced at a more reasonable Rs 2.05 lakh.

“We have a legacy of creating motorcycles with a unique appeal, some of which have created a proud history in the world of two-wheelers. Whether it is the performance, quality or handling, BMW Motorrad captures the pulse of true motorcyclists,” said Dimitris Raptis, Head of Region Asia, China, Pacific, South Africa, BMW Motorrad. “Bringing the brand’s formidable experience and premium aspirations to the sub-500 cc segment, the all-new BMW G 310 R and the all-new BMW G 310 GS have opened up another important chapter in BMW Motorrad’s history and will lay a strong foundation for future growth.”

BMW and TVS first joined hands to develop a series of sub 500cc bikes for the Indian and international markets back in 2013 and it has taken the two companies nearly four years to get to their first product.

“Both the offerings are set to redefine their segment as they are ideal for young people, novices, returning riders and many other motorcyclists,” said Vikram Pawah, President, BMW Group India.

BMW and TVS are however not the only ones to collaborate. Last year, British cruiser maker Triumph motorcycles also joined hands with TVS’s arch rival Bajaj Auto to develop easy riding cruisers in a bid to take on Royal Enfield in its home turf.

Elon Musk's "Use Signal" Post Spurred Massive Rally For The Wrong One

A two-word app recommendation from Elon Musk has turned into a massive rally in the shares of a tiny medical device company in another case of mistaken identity. “Use Signal,” the Tesla Inc. chief executive officer wrote on Twitter on Jan. 7, apparently referring to the encrypted messaging service. By the end of the day, Signal Advance Inc. shares had surged more than sixfold. That was enough to push Signal Advance’s rally more than 5,100% in three trading days giving it a market valuation of $390 million. Despite reports about the confusion on Friday, the stock has continued to rally. Shares of the Rosharon, Texas-based company surged as much as 885% on Monday before paring the gains. “We strongly recommend people do their due diligence and always invest with care,” the company’s chief executive officer, Dr. Chris Hymel, said when reached by phone on Monday. Signal Advance doesn’t have an association with Musk or the Signal app, he said. Signal...

RBI Policy: MPC may keep policy rate unchanged at 6%; owl may sound hawkish

N- Urjit Patel, Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and his five colleagues on the Monetary Policy Committee will not find it too hard to keep the key policy interest rate unchanged at the upcoming policy review on February 7. The 2-day deliberations on February 6 and 7 by the MPC on the repo rate decision are expected to remain tilted towards a pause mode, keeping the near term outlook hawkish. However, they may raise rates later given the risks of higher inflation with fiscal slippages and higher food prices with the government planning to increase the Minimum Support Price (MSP). In the Budget last week, the government promised to ensure MSP of key crops at 1.5 times the cost of production. This could mean at least a 50-70-basis-points increase in the headline inflation number. While banks and bond markets have already signaled the end of the interest rate easing cycle, the MPC may keep the repo rate unchanged at 6 percent. Inflation risks Although, experts suggest the infl...
