Honda VT motorcycles: how many are still registered?

2,897still registered

Honda VT motorcycles still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 18 recorded variants.

Most recorded on UK roads at once: 3,892 (2015 Q4) - 74.4% of that peak survives.

Disappearing at about 0.9% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 2,766 in 2030.

1,839 of the survivors (63.4%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.

By year

All 2,897 surviving Honda VT motorcycles, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 294 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 90.7% 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.
