HOW MANY HONDA CB 500 S ARE LEFT?

There are 329 HONDA CB 500 S left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 848 HONDA CB 500 S that are currently SORNED.

The total number of HONDA CB 500 S was highest during 2002 Q4 (1,729). The number taxed topped out in 2002 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2024 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 552 (32%) HONDA CB 500 S have been scrapped or exported.

During 2018 Q4 the number of HONDA CB 500 S that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.

In the last 10 years the total number of HONDA CB 500 S has fallen by 132. Licensed models have fallen by 545 and the SORNed total has increased by 413.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 77 HONDA CB 500 S models. Taxed models have declined by 186 and the SORNed total has increased by 109.

72% of the remaining 1,177 HONDA CB 500 S in the UK are currently off the road.
