HOW MANY BMW R100RS ARE LEFT?

There are 129 BMW R100RS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 221 BMW R100RS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW R100RS was highest during 2020 Q4 (366). The number taxed topped out in 1998 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2020 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 16 (4%) BMW R100RS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2011 Q4 the number of BMW R100RS 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 R100RS has gained 5. Licensed models have fallen by 17 and the SORNed total has increased by 22.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 10 BMW R100RS models. Taxed models have grown by 10 and the SORNed total has fallen by 20.

63% of the remaining 350 BMW R100RS in the UK are currently off the road.
