HOW MANY BMW R80ST ARE LEFT?

There are 130 BMW R80ST left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 123 BMW R80ST that are currently SORNED.

There are currently more BMW R80ST, in total, than ever before. The number taxed topped out in 1994 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

During 2012 Q4 the number of BMW R80ST 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 R80ST has gained 25. Licensed models have increased by 19 and the SORNed total has increased by 6.

The 5 year trend shows an overall increase of 14 BMW R80ST models. Taxed models have grown by 38 and the SORNed total has fallen by 24.

51% of the surviving 253 BMW R80ST in the UK are still on the road.
