HOW MANY BMW K1 ARE LEFT?

There are 4 BMW K1 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 35 BMW K1 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW K1 was highest during 2020 Q3 (43). The number taxed topped out in 1998 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q3.

Since the total peaked, some 4 (9%) BMW K1 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2007 Q4 the number of BMW K1 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 K1 has gained 15. Licensed models have fallen by 4 and the SORNed total has increased by 19.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 2 BMW K1 models. Taxed models have declined by 6 and the SORNed total has increased by 4.

90% of the remaining 39 BMW K1 in the UK are currently off the road.
