HOW MANY BMW R1150GS ARE LEFT?

There are 1,159 BMW R1150GS left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,072 BMW R1150GS that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW R1150GS was highest during 2003 Q4 (2,834). The number taxed topped out in 2003 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 603 (21%) BMW R1150GS have been scrapped or exported.

During 2023 Q4 the number of BMW R1150GS 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 R1150GS has fallen by 151. Licensed models have fallen by 754 and the SORNed total has increased by 603.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 16 BMW R1150GS models. Taxed models have declined by 235 and the SORNed total has increased by 219.

52% of the surviving 2,231 BMW R1150GS in the UK are still on the road.
