    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Looks pretty cool...will likely do ok in Canada and for sure the UK and Australia for the entry market with license restrictions. Certainly a bike I would consider for my son when he turns 16.

To absolutely no one?s surprise, BMW officially announced the G310, a single-cylinder entry-level machine due here in early 2016 to take up the battle with KTM?s Duke 390 and RC390, as well as the small-scale roadsters from Japan. As part of BMW?s plans for global domination, the G310 shores up the brand?s low-cost segment, currently bedrocked by the G650 thumpers. What?s more, it?s expected to be part of a line of bikes on this platform, likely to include a supersport-styled RR variant and an off-roady GS iteration.

I think Suzuki has been making something like that... Oh yeah The B-king Larave GW250's

I think Beamers look nicer though... $4999 is that USD or CSD?

I've owned 3 older BMWs and never lost my $ when selling, but I bought when I saw a deal and had fun with them while i owned them. Somewhere along the line though somebody lost $ on those bikes.

Cool bike, but I was comparing specs of the KTM 390 to my SV650. Same seat height, about 45lbs heavier dry weight, almost twice the horsepower, 2 second better 1/4 mile times, twice the capacity gas tank and at about the same mpg goes twice as far, both 6 speeds, about 1/2" less ground clearance....I would speculate that they both will be on a par for handling on the streets and same fun/ease factor for novice or expert, and finally my bike for under $2k compared to $5k, sooooo I'll choose my SV650 for the same amount of fun and the v-twin smoothness, and sell it for what I paid for it. I doubt you'll have similar resale value in either of the BMW or KTM fun bikes.
