Yes, vibrations are there and they quite piss me off. The only solution I found for them is I lubricate the chain in intervals of 250 km to 300 km and this reduces vibrations by 50%.
Due to the vibrations above 5k rpm, I don't like to rev the bike to redline which makes the ownership quite bitter. Why does a person buy a sports bike??.... yeah to have fun by revving it hard and extracting some power.

Rode my friend's bike which he bought 3 months ago, in his bike vibrations are not present. I think that Rr310 MY2023 has minimal vibrations.

BMW has done great work on the engine in their G310rr. They replaced some parts in the engine which resulted in no vibrations.

When the G310RR was launched I thought BMW was just charging extra money for their badge but after riding it, they have improved the engine to a great extent and it feels smooth and refined.

Although the benchmark of refinement and sound for me goes to RE 650 twins. If I were in the market today I would seriously consider them only downside in my eyes is their looks in which R310 scores 10 out of 10
