Honda CBR motorcycles: how many are still registered?

71,552still registered

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 71,943 (2019 Q3) - 99.4% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 0.6% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 69,428 in 2030.

37,002 of the survivors (51.7%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

Derivatives

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

By year

All 71,552 surviving Honda CBR motorcycles, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 10,025 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 85.1% 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.
