HOW MANY BMW R80RT ARE LEFT?

There are 369 BMW R80RT left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 878 BMW R80RT that are currently SORNED.

The total number of BMW R80RT was highest during 1994 Q4 (1,528). The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2025 Q1.

Since the total peaked, some 281 (18%) BMW R80RT have been scrapped or exported.

During 2013 Q4 the number of BMW R80RT 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 R80RT has gained 43. Licensed models have fallen by 219 and the SORNed total has increased by 262.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 5 BMW R80RT models. Taxed models have declined by 37 and the SORNed total has increased by 42.

70% of the remaining 1,247 BMW R80RT in the UK are currently off the road.
