We are delighted that we are rolling out the 50,000 unit of our 310 series motorcycles in less than two years. This reaffirms our decision to offer BMW Motorrad quality-led premium products for the sub 500cc segment,” said the head of the BMW Motorrad Markus Schramm as reported by Business Standard.
