HOW MANY BMW R1100 GS ARE LEFT?

There are 293 BMW R1100 GS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 437 BMW R1100 GS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW R1100 GS was highest during 1999 Q4 (863). The number taxed topped out in 1999 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 133 (15%) BMW R1100 GS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2019 Q4 the number of BMW R1100 GS 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 R1100 GS has fallen by 33. Licensed models have fallen by 242 and the SORNed total has increased by 209.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 11 BMW R1100 GS models. Taxed models have declined by 76 and the SORNed total has increased by 65.

60% of the remaining 730 BMW R1100 GS in the UK are currently off the road.
