Honda XL650V motorcycles: how many are still registered?
1,425still registered
Honda XL650V motorcycles still registered with DVLA (licensed or SORN), across 6 recorded variants.
Disappearing at about 1.2% a year (the 2020–2025 trend). If that rate continued: around 1,339 in 2030, and under 1,000 around 2054.
55 of the survivors (3.8%) are declared off-road (SORN) rather than taxed.
One motorcycle drawn per 10 on the road - there are too many left to draw one each. Pick variants on the left to colour them in.
By year
All 1,425 surviving Honda XL650V motorcycles, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 247 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 85.2% 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. DVLA's first-registration series starts in 2001, well after the Honda XL650V was being sold new, so these are almost entirely imports rather than the car's original sales.
