By year
All 227 surviving Generic Cracker motorcycles, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 101 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 69.2% 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.
Motorcycles joining a UK register each year, and how many of that year's arrivals are still registered now (the darker part of each bar). For an import this is the year it arrived, not the year it was built.
