HOW MANY BMW R1150R ARE LEFT?

There are 320 BMW R1150R left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 324 BMW R1150R that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW R1150R was highest during 2007 Q4 (945). The number taxed topped out in 2005 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 301 (32%) BMW R1150R have been scrapped or exported.

During 2022 Q4 the number of BMW R1150R 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 R1150R has fallen by 88. Licensed models have fallen by 267 and the SORNed total has increased by 179.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 31 BMW R1150R models. Taxed models have declined by 108 and the SORNed total has increased by 77.

50% of the remaining 644 BMW R1150R in the UK are currently off the road.
