HOW MANY BMW R 1200 S ARE LEFT?

There are 156 BMW R 1200 S left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 121 BMW R 1200 S that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW R 1200 S was highest during 2009 Q2 (390). The number taxed topped out in 2009 Q2 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 113 (29%) BMW R 1200 S have been scrapped or exported.

During 2020 Q4 the number of BMW R 1200 S 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 R 1200 S has fallen by 9. Licensed models have fallen by 92 and the SORNed total has increased by 83.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 11 BMW R 1200 S models. Taxed models have declined by 10 and the SORNed total has increased by 21.

56% of the surviving 277 BMW R 1200 S in the UK are still on the road.
