It’s been seven years since the TVS RR 310, the marque’s first product based on the 310cc platform co-developed with BMW Motorrad, was launched. In fact, the first motorcycle based on this platform, the BMW G 310 R was unveiled in 2015! The TVS RTR 310 is the latest motorcycle based on this platform and it brings with it a few upgrades. It left a positive impression on us when we briefly rode it in Thailand, on both road and track. However, it did leave a few questions unanswered so we decided to spend more time with it here in India.
