HOW MANY BMW R80 ARE LEFT?

There are 137 BMW R80 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 297 BMW R80 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW R80 was highest during 1994 Q4 (450). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 16 (4%) BMW R80 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2012 Q4 the number of BMW R80 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 R80 has gained 30. Licensed models have fallen by 54 and the SORNed total has increased by 84.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 22 BMW R80 models. Taxed models have grown by 3 and the SORNed total has increased by 19.

68% of the remaining 434 BMW R80 in the UK are currently off the road.
