HOW MANY BMW K 1200 R ARE LEFT?

There are 124 BMW K 1200 R left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 124 BMW K 1200 R that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW K 1200 R was highest during 2008 Q3 (461). The number taxed topped out in 2008 Q3 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 213 (46%) BMW K 1200 R have been scrapped or exported.

During 2024 Q4 the number of BMW K 1200 R that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.

In the last 10 years the total number of BMW K 1200 R has fallen by 55. Licensed models have fallen by 135 and the SORNed total has increased by 80.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 27 BMW K 1200 R models. Taxed models have declined by 69 and the SORNed total has increased by 42.

50% of the surviving 248 BMW K 1200 R in the UK are still on the road.
