BMW R Series motorcycles: how many are still registered?
81,136still registered
BMW R Series motorcycles still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 128 recorded variants.
One motorcycle drawn per 1,000 on the road - there are too many left to draw one each. Pick variants on the left to colour them in.
Derivatives
DVLA also registers other body types under the BMW R Series nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is motorcycles only.
By year
All 81,136 surviving BMW R Series motorcycles, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 7,092 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 83.2% of the 2014 figure. That is the earliest real count of the same cars: DVLA publishes no production figures, so nothing here is a count of how many were built.
Engine size and fuel
What is on the road now: the surviving BMW R Series motorcycles split by engine capacity and by fuel, as recorded 2025. Engine sizes are DVLA's own bands and cover only the cars it holds a capacity for.
