The news comes direct from BMW top brass and confirms that the smaller-bike modular concept will spawn other models from the original 34bhp single-cylinder naked bike that launched last year (pictured below).

Speaking exclusively to our sister title Motorcycle Sport & Leisure, BMW Motorrad UK’s director Phil Horton, below, talked about the range of bikes coming and, more specifically, what can be done with the smaller model.

He said: “New models aside, the line-up isn’t as comprehensive as it needs to be. But there are plenty more bikes to come, including, hopefully in 2017, a G310R GS-style derivative. That’s quite an interesting proposition in itself.”

In addition to the tiny GS, BMW is also expected to launch a fully-faired, track-inspired, full-on sports version of the G310R later this year, too.
