Honda CBF motorcycles: how many are still registered?

12,470still registered

Honda CBF motorcycles still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 37 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 14,401 (2011 Q3) - 86.5% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 1.4% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 11,619 in 2030.

5,066 of the survivors (40.6%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

DVLA also registers other body types under the Honda CBF nameplate. Each is counted on its own page, so every figure on this one is motorcycles only.

By year

All 12,470 surviving Honda CBF motorcycles, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 2,814 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 80.1% 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.
