By year
All 373 surviving Kawasaki KE motorcycles, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time.
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 Kawasaki KE was being sold new, so these are almost entirely imports rather than the car's original sales.
