By year

All 485 surviving White Knuckle 125 motorcycles, by the year each was built - not how many were on the road at the time. Across every year, 402 of these cars have gone since 2014, leaving 43.3% 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.
