HOW MANY HONDA CB 500 ARE LEFT?

There are 594 HONDA CB 500 left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 1,330 HONDA CB 500 that are currently SORNED.

The total number of HONDA CB 500 was highest during 2002 Q4 (2,695). The number taxed topped out in 2002 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2023 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 771 (29%) HONDA CB 500 have been scrapped or exported.

During 2017 Q4 the number of HONDA CB 500 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 has gained 7. Licensed models have fallen by 556 and the SORNed total has increased by 563.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 10 HONDA CB 500 models. Taxed models have declined by 158 and the SORNed total has increased by 148.

69% of the remaining 1,924 HONDA CB 500 in the UK are currently off the road.
