Honda SH motorcycles: how many are still registered?

2,043still registered

Honda SH motorcycles still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 12 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 5,611 (1994 Q4) - 36.4% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 5.1% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 1,571 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2039.

1,435 of the survivors (70.2%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 2,043 surviving Honda SH motorcycles, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 1,811 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 52.9% 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.
